PARIS – (July 25, 2016) –TechViz (www.techviz.net), a global provider of immersive 3D virtual prototyping software solutions, is presenting its latest immersive visualization solutions at SIGGRAPH 2016 at booth No.661.

In partnership with Barco, a recognized expert in visualization for the virtual reality market, TechViz is demonstrating the powerful combination of the TechViz XL software package and the brand-new transportable Barco 3-sided

immersive room

for the first time. TechViz XL allows users to display 3D models directly from native industrial or VR applications onto a 3D display.

A breakthrough in immersive VR technology, the combination of TechViz XL software and the Barco F50 projectors with high contrast screens allows users to visualize the 3D application of their choice at a very high frame rate with high image quality and without data conversion.

“We [TechViz] have developed a portfolio of advanced visualization solutions that provide users with the tools they need to make adjustments at an early stage of their product design, save time and money during the conception,” commented TechViz General Manager, Alberto Gabaï. “The combination of TechViz XL™ with Barco’s highly efficient projector adds an exciting new dimension to immersive 3D virtual prototyping. We are looking forward to this partnership.” TechViz software enables teamwork between departments based in different locations thanks to its collaborative mode. Project and technical reviews become possible as well as maintenance and training sessions and project validation.

“Barco is pleased to be partnering with TechViz at SIGGRAPH 2016,” says Kurt Doornaert, market & business director virtual reality at Barco. “The combination of the Barco F50 ultra short-throw projectors, the Barco high contrast rear projection screens, and TechViz XL software shows how users can easily translate their 3D models onto a 3D display. Thanks to its compactness, further enhanced when combined with ultra-short throw lenses, and its high resolution (WQXGA) at 120 Hz, the Barco F50 offers VR newcomers the best ratio of minimal space and maximum quality to create an efficient VR setup.”
