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. Read more at Marshall's Visualization Center Portal.

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.
