Immersive reality has a new look coming at the end of November in the form of a clever arrangement of digital projectors, curved screens, mirrors and software for image rendering and stitching, configured into a portable viewing theater.
In a preview in October at Bentley Systems’ Year in Infrastructure conference in Singapore, Qube 4D Ventures Inc., Montreal, took the wraps off its 20-ft-dia Station IX immersive theater—which looks like an extraterrestrial explorer—with a blend of fanfare and secrecy. The contraption crouched at the end of a hall with its entry facing the wall, shielding the interior from casual view. Only three visitors at a time were allowed in for demonstrations.
