ASTC attendees will marvel at Barco’s 3D stereo exhibit made possible by the TRACE system. TRACE is an industry standard for active 3D stereoscopic display. Powered by a Barco Galaxy WARP DLP projector, TRACE depicts high-resolution imagery in crisp detail. With a simple pair of electronic shutter glasses, the viewer can experience the magic of 3D imagery generated by this portable, freestanding unit. TRACE immerses the viewer in a world of floating subjects, creating an environment of learning that is both thrilling and memorable. In addition to the 3D exhibit, ASTC attendees will experience a remarkable presentation of diverse visual solutions in a uniquely hands-on way. With content and programming provided by Alterface and visualization powered by Barco’s high-definition Sim 6 Ultra II LCD projection system, this exhibit will turn viewers into active participants. Upon entering the exhibit, an image of the guest is captured by the system; their image is made part of the virtual environment and appears on the display screen. The guest will then have the option to “select” screen content through virtual interaction. “This is the stuff of fantasy,” said Xavier Marichal, Alterface CTO. “These robust technologies will revolutionize the way contemporary museums and science centers operate. The unique interactivity and arresting imagery promise new heights of participatory learning.” Paul Lyon, International Product Manager for Barco’s Simulation business, will participate in a panel discussion during the conference. Mr. Lyon will highlight features and benefits of Barco’s high-definition projection systems, and offer key insight into creative solutions which can transform vision into reality. As a conference sponsor, Barco will supply a high-definition ICON projector for use during presentations. This intelligent, scalable projection system simultaneously displays data collected from multiple sources on one large screen, making it perfect for intuitive visualization and educational collaboration.
