What Is It?

The VR Compliant™ is a revolutionary system that integrates the most advanced software system with state-of-the-art hardware to provide a turnkey virtual reality solution.  It is a reconfigurable display system that gives you the power to choose the optimal setup for your VR situation.

The system is reconfigurable into:

  • One large flat wall (consisting of 3 walls, also known as a Power Wall)

  • A room environment
    (U-shaped room, a floor screen can be added in order to enhance the sense of immersion)

  • Each wall can be moved to an independent location

Our Most Versatile Solution

The VR Compliant™ was called as such because of its ultimate flexibility.  It was designed with the idea that it would be as universal as possible, yet can be changed to several other shapes with minimal effort.

This type of system is typically used in the following fields:

  • Scientific visualization: Because of its room-type configuration, the VR Compliant™ allows for real-time interactivity in many research arenas including biology, computer science, engineering, complex data, etc.

  • Large screen demonstrations:  Because the VR Compliant™ can open up to become a large Virtual Wall, it is perfect for large group demonstrations where to-scale products and systems can be visualized.

  • Wall-to-Wall communication:  The various virtual walls of a VR Compliant™ system can be taken apart and located in different rooms, allowing the virtual presence of people and things simultaneously in the different rooms.  No additional technology is needed to achieve this.

  • Digital Prototyping: Because of the real-time tracking achieved in the VR Compliant™,a user can create virtual prototypes of mechanisms, machines, and products, in a functional manner.  Add kinematics and physics and it is as close to reality as possible.

 





Computational Platform

Viz-Tek-configured workstations are rackmounted with the highest-quality clustered environments, providing a high output of polygons-per-second and texture mapping. High frame rates are achieved even with the most demanding applications or computationally-intensive simulations. Each channel provides ample power: our systems are configured with multiple CPUs per-channel, a large amount of RAM, and the most advanced image generators available.

 

Unmatched VR Software

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of a virtual reality system is software. Software provides a method for integrating the hardware together, but also will be the limiting factor in how fast (or slow) you and your team would be able to develop new applications.

Viz-Tek provides the best-in-class software that enables you to develop the fastest applications, with ease and comfort, yet providing the most advanced capabilities of any VR system on the market today.

 

Accessories to Fit Your Needs

Every VR Compliant™ system that we ship is compatible (out of the box) with a wide range of third-party accessories. Whether your requirements lie in motion trackers, haptic devices, or controllers, Viz-Tek's hardware is ready fulfill your turnkey needs.

 

Maintenance and Support

One year full warranty for all equipment. A 24/7 toll-free phone service with on-site service for computational equipment. Additional warranties are also available.

 

Installation and Training

Viz-Tek systems will be installed by our trained technicians at your location. Installation is part of the turnkey solution. Training is typically conducted on-site at your location, involving a 2-day training course on the hardware and software.
