Latin America. Barco presented Canvas, a new solution for companies that want to take their next steps in virtual reality and bring 3D images to a group of decision makers and experts, while still being able to interact with each other.
Barco's canvas is the first virtual reality solution that meets the needs of virtual reality group sessions and regular meetings. In this way, the Canvas adapts to 2 different purposes, allowing clients to maximize their investment. The canvas is applicable in all markets where 3D images are combined with commercial objectives, with a focus on AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction).
Many VR users want to improve their 3D visualization capabilities and eliminate the disadvantages of head-mounted displays (HMDs) that isolate users and greatly hinder collaboration. However, careful consideration of use cases, workflow, budget, and space is required to get to the next level. Because use cases often don't yet get to the point where they work in VR 100% of the time, getting approval for these projects can be difficult.
Barco's canvas is the solution. This new system consists of 3 projection surfaces, configured at an angle of 135°, and opens a new era for virtual reality in companies. It allows an increasing number of users to experience group virtual reality that encourages collaboration between teams and allows customers to preview and evaluate buildings or designs before constructing them. The ability to do this in the comfort of a meeting room, while also using the screen like a traditional screen, is truly unique.
Best of 2 worlds
In meetings and collaboration sessions, Barco Canvas acts as a large display surface for a wealth of information and data. With Barco's ClickShare plug-and-play technology, users have the freedom to share their content on the screen and have interactive discussions. When users put on the 3D glasses, the Canvas becomes an immersive screen that allows them to know the 3D data. In this way, the Canvas creates an overwhelming experience for, among other things, sales and marketing purposes, project meetings where 3D modeling adds an important dimension to efficiently monitor progress or reduce errors during execution, etc.
Barco Canvas brings together many of Barco's unique strengths. For example, the famous image quality of our projectors brings to life optimal 2D and 3D images. Depending on the needs and size of the facility, Barco has a wide range of high-quality projectors in its portfolio to deliver an immersive experience. In addition, the high-quality, lightweight Barco RigiFlex displays ensure excellent performance and easy installation.
