Barco and Scalable Deliver Integrated Auto-Alignment for Immersive Environments

Barco has introduced a new camera-based auto-alignment software tool developed in collaboration with Scalable Display Technologies, expanding its capabilities for immersive visual environments. The solution automatically aligns, warps, and blends images from multiple projectors into a single seamless display — significantly reducing setup complexity while improving accuracy and visual consistency.

The tool brings together Barco's expertise in projection and image processing with Scalable's more than two decades of experience in high-end simulation and multi-projector integration. Built on Scalable's field-tested technology, it delivers simulation-grade precision to entertainment and immersive experience markets, where ease of use and long-term reliability are increasingly essential.

Through close collaboration, Barco shaped the workflow and system integration to ensure the software fits naturally within immersive installations and meets the practical needs of operators and integrators. The result is a streamlined calibration process that enables fast, precise, and repeatable alignment across museums, theme parks, auditoria, and other large-scale immersive environments.

The camera-based approach automates warping, edge blending, and realignment. Using the camera's view of the projection surface as a reference, the system delivers accurate results with minimal manual input — eliminating time-consuming manual adjustments, shortening installation time, and making multi-projector calibration accessible without compromising visual quality.

Fully compatible with Barco's Pulse projection platform, the auto-alignment tool reinforces Barco's focus on total system integration — where hardware, software, and services operate as a cohesive ecosystem.
