ST Engineering Antycip, a provider of simulation and immersive visualisation solutions, has completed a major integration at TORE (The Open Reality Experience), the University of Lille’s large-scale immersive environment built around a flattened torus-shaped display. The integration comprises 20 Barco I600 4K10 projectors with dedicated optics and an automatically calibrated digital correction solution from software company Scalable Display Technologies.
The laser projectors are designed to deliver super-shifted 4K pixel resolution across the immersive environment, according to Antycip.
Antycip says the modernisation enhances colour accuracy, image fluidity and visual continuity across the flattened torus-shaped surface measuring more than 8m in diameter. The system is designed to enable higher refresh rates, the handling of complex scenes, the integration of AI modules, and remote interaction and collaboration between immersive environments.
TORE was inaugurated in 2018 and is used for academic research in cognitive science, art history and archaeology, as well as for designing immersive artistic works.
Yann Coello, professor of cognitive psychology and neuropsychology, and director of the Visual Sciences and Cultures Research Federation at the University of Lille, said: “The level of realism required for high-quality immersion makes optimising projection and computing systems essential. The integration of innovative technologies expands our computing and interaction capabilities and opens the door to new collaborations between research and industry.”
Johan Besnainou, France-Spain director at Antycip, added: “TORE holds a special place in our history. It is a foundational project for our immersive visualisation activities and continues to push the boundaries of what technology makes possible.”
