Barco technology and Dassault's 3Dexperience platform come together in an immersive visual experience

Dassault Systèmes uses Barco technology to create an immersive 3D visual experience at its Executive Briefing Center in Waltham (Massachusetts).

Dassault Systèmes you have chosen the immersive visualization solution of Barco and its collaboration system to demonstrate the capabilities of its 3Dexperience platform and offer high-quality three-dimensional content for designers, engineers, salespeople and decision-making teams.

Dassault applications that have been launched at its Executive Briefing Center in Waltham are 3DVIA for 3D communication and training tools, Catia for digital product design, Delmia for manufacturing and digital production, and Simulia to explore, discover and optimize by performing a virtual simulation.

Barco had already installed a similar system at the company's corporate headquarters in Vélizy (France) and now, its collaboration has expanded to its Massachusetts headquarters. Together they work to make the industry aware of the importance of stereo 3D visualization and collaboration applications, and not only in the engineering and design environment, but also applied to cultural and educational.

“Our new center demonstrates what can be done with 3D and the great visual quality and fidelity it offers”, comments Al Bunshaft, senior vice president of Dassault Systèmes America Corporation. “Barco's new visualization system is an integral part of immersing our customers in a 3D environment where they can experience real-world situations., Improve collaboration and design with better products and solutions for your end users”.

3D stereo projectors

In this project the Barco Powerwall concept has been implemented, a multi-channel collaboration system for 3D visualization with high pixel density delivered from screen projectors.

Users can view multiple image sources simultaneously in extremely high resolution, in any combination of mono and 3D stereo, while Barco's patented stereoscopic filtering technology delivers optimal image quality, regardless of the type of screen used.

Dassault Systèmes is using a modified version of Barco's Powerwall, denominada Reconfigurable Cave Display, that allows the reconfiguration of the system from a 'cave' to a Powerwall to improve its functionality in a multitude of applications.

Equipped with Barco's Galaxy NW-12 stereo projectors, The system offers high-performance stereoscopic viewing of 3D images, con 12.000 WUXGA brightness and resolution lumens, and is easily controlled via familiar Windows desktop. Multi-projector integration is optimized through Barco's DynaColor, allowing constant light output, edge smoothing and deformation ability.
