Virtual Interactive Simulation Environment (VISE)

Introduction History Facilities

Stereo Wall
The centerpiece of the VISE Lab is a 9’x16’ rear-projected display powered by two Sony 4K SRXD™ projectors and two high-end nVIDIA Quadro® Plex visual computing systems, providing VISE with the industry’s highest-definition single-panel stereo display. Active and passive stereo viewing is provided by shuttered and polarized glasses, respectively.

Organic Motion System Motion Tracking
Motion Tracking
Another state-of-the-art feature of the VISE Lab is its video-based motion tracking system from Organic Motion that requires no markers, special patterns or other sensors. It can capture the full 3-D skeletal motion of a person in real-time, which can be used to animate an avatar, navigate a scene, or control other elements in a virtual environment.

Configurable Theatric Environment
The area in front of the screen is highly configurable to allow for a range of immersive experiences—from a small classroom or conference room setting to a fully interactive motion-tracking stage. The lab has no windows, and it has a blackened interior for optimal lighting control. The lab is also equipped with surround-sound stereo.

Portable Stereo System
VisBox's VisMini is used for off site presentations and demontrations. Its Infetec technology allows for passive stereo on any existing screen.

Hi-Speed Internet Access
The VISE Lab is equipped with hi-speed network access to the Internet for high-bandwidth web-based applications and streaming media. It has a direct interface to the campus-wide fiber backbone, soon to be part of the Internet 2 network.
