The VisionStation can be used with applications from many different areas of endeavor. Simulation and training, oil and gas exploration, product presentation and entertainment applications will all benefit from the us e of an Elumens VisionStation visualization system. Standard flat-screen applications can display a field of view (FOV) of no more than 60. The Elumens VisionStation allows for a fully immersive d isplay of 160. The VisionStation's ultra-wide FOV creates an amazing se nse of space and depth, without need for goggles or glasses. Elumens' patented TruTheta software enables software applications for use with Elumens Vision series products.
TruTheta software comprises a set of software libraries available at no charge from the Elumens websit e Elumens' spherical screens promote an excellent sense of 3D and "pres ence". Elumens' unique custom optics enables full-screen projection at 180 with perfect spherical projection. Onscreen images have extremely high fidel ity to signal. Once the system i s assembled--a fifteen-minute job requiring only ordinary tools--the VGA output from the users' computer is plugged into the VGA input of the Vi sionStation and the system is ready to run. Like all Elumens products, the VisionStation was designed with portabilit y in mind. The system breaks down and packs into two optional ruggedized carrying cases. The portabilit y and durability of the VisionStation make it a perfect choice for trade show and exhibit use. The VisionStation is designed with the same conceptual "backbone" as all other Elumens Vision series products and shares features and technology with our other models.
APPLICATIONS Military Training & Simulation Today's armed forces have more missions, in more locations and must respo nd in less time than ever before. Deployable, reconfigurable simulation systems can provide critical training at a critical time. Personnel must be prepared for scenarios varying from long-term peace kee ping to full-scale conflict. Localized and effective training, whether i n a training facility, on board ship or in the field, is more important than ever. For less than the service costs of traditional training systems, role-pla yer simulators based on the VisionStation can be easily deployed to mult iple locations. Remote role-players can be networked to the central miss ion training facility. Pilots can get the benefits of realistic mission rehearsal without leaving the ground. Unmanned vehicles can be controlle d with an improved "out the window" field of view. Integrating the Visio nStation into these simulation and control applications will reduce the cost of training while yielding a high quality of readiness. Typical Applications * Out-of-hatch armored vehicle training * Rotary and fixed-wing aircraft training * Missile-targeting simulation * Command and control exercises * Distributed simulation Education Part of the mission of the modern educational institution is to teach stu dents the basics while also getting them excited about new and interesti ng developments in our world. The VisionStation fills both these require ments by providing an excellent teaching tool and a unique next-generati on visualization system. Students will benefit from the VisionStations ease of setup and use; administrators and teachers will benefit from the systems multiple uses and applications. Students can use the Elumens VisionStation as both a means of viewing the ir 3D projects and as a way to study subjects like fluid dynamics, flock ing behavior in birds or urban planning.
so ftware tools and libraries for free on the Elumens website, encouraging experimentation and exploration on the part of students. Elumens TruThet a animation methodology is free and easy to use with any standard 3D ani mation package, making the production of Dome content a goal easily real ized by student groups. Vision Series products are already in use at numerous educational institu tions worldwide. Typical Applications * 3D software training * Architectural walkthroughs * Urban planning * Scientific visualization * Visualization for entertainment Commercial Training & Simulation Simulated training is a rapidly growing market in the US and abroad. Simu lators have become commonplace in areas as diverse as driver training, c rane operator simulation and equipment maintenance training. As the cost s of real equipment soar and the costs of simulators drop, commercial tr aining and simulation has become an exciting new growth area for Elumens Vision series products. The VisionStation offers many of the features critical to effective comme rcial simulation. The VisionStation is priced within the reach of many s mall businesses, and offers ease-of-use, portability and value unavailab le in other, far more expensive simulation systems. Typical Applications * Truck-driver training * School bus driver training * Locomotive simulation * Heavy equipment training * Avionics and flight-tower training * Automobile driver training Product Design & Presentation A product development team's mission is focused on time-to-market, qualit y and cost. Time saved in the design process can add to a product's life cycle. Longer product life can lead to increased sales opportunities an d a head start on competitors. Recognizing design flaws early in the con cept stage leads to a higher quality product. Visualizing digital protot ypes eliminates the cost of building models. Using the VisionStation, Auto, Aircraft, Ship, and Plant designers can vi sualize interior and structural concepts in true 3D, allowing them to av oid costly design changes late in the process. TruTheta Spherical projec tion capabilities have been embedded into many leading CAD and visualiza tion applications. Once model creation is complete, using the VisionStat ion is the most exciting way to present your new products, either in in- house presentations or in public venues like trade shows and exhibitions . Typical Applications * Trade shows and exhibits * Client centers * Road shows and demos * Showrooms * Design centers and labs * Collaborative design workshops Entertainment Modern viewers have high expectations when it comes to entertainment visu als. A generation raised on Jurassic Park and the Star Wars series o f films expects gripping, exciting entertainment. Content creation is a sn ap, making content rollovers easy and quick. The unique nature of Elumen s projection makes for a highly memorable experience, ensuring return vi sits. With dome theaters growing steadily in number, the VisionStation i s a natural choice for entertainment venues.
