Scalable Display Technologies, Immersive Display Solutions and CM Labs Simulations collaborate on state-of-the-art concrete pump

November 26, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, MA

Scalable Display Technologies, an industry leader in auto-calibration for multi-projector displays, is pleased to announce its recent collaboration with Immersive Display Solutions, a leading provider of hemispherical immersive display solutions, and CM Labs Simulations, Inc, an innovator in real-time simulation software, on a state-of-the-art concrete pump simulator which was developed the concrete pump training simulator based on it's commercial Vortex physics-based simulation software tool-kit for interactive applications. The Operating Engineers Training Institute of Ontario (Canada) will use the simulator as a virtual environment to train concrete pump operators in jobsite safety.

Immersive Display Solutions enabled their 4 DLP -projector domed display with Scalable’s EasyBlend FX software for simplified edge-blending and image warp correction. EasyBlend FX speeds the tedious calibration of multiple projectors through its groundbreaking use of digital camera feedback. Scalable’s software automates the process, producing a cost-effective method of generating perfect, multi-projector images in minutes.

“Anytime we can we try to lead with Scalable,” said Immersive Display Solutions President, George Forbes. “EasyBlend FX works so well, it lets us create a visual system we couldn’t provide otherwise. We can use lower-cost, commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) projectors and get seamless results. We’re already thinking about new applications for our combined technologies.”

Scalable CEO, Andrew Jamison looks forward to a productive relationship with Immersive Display Solutions. “Our software is purpose-built for simulation, and our partnership on the concrete pump simulator demonstrates the close coupling of EasyBlend FX with IDSI’s market-leading visual solutions. We are eager to continue our collaboration with Immersive Display Solutions in industrial simulation projects, and expand into the military simulation market, as well.”
