SiliconCore and Virtalis achieve multi-view LED ‘first’

Virtalis has utilised SiliconCore’s ED technology to create the first multi-point-of-view interactive VR experience on its XR displays.

The enterprise VR specialist is demonstrating the capability using the manufacturer’s XR-ready displays of 1.9mm and soon 1.2mm.

The solution allows two points of view to be presented in real time in the same physical space simultaneously, using an ART tracking system and Volfoni active 3D glasses to bring the datasets to life.

Instead of the world just moving to the exact perspective of one participant, two people can be immersed accurately in the virtual dataset in tandem, or one person can be tracked while the wider audience has a fixed point, viewing in active 3D.

The solution will improve the experience for design review workflows, simulation and experiential learning by offering cross-platform collaboration on multiple displays in real-time. Without restricting people’s view of the physical space with a VR headset, it was also facilitate greater collaboration.

The 240hz frame rate of SiliconCore’s 1.9mm XR LED display enables each viewer to see the data aligned with a different frequency, meaning they can be exploring the same dataset but tracked from their physical position, or a different dataset entirely.

Cool operating temperatures cut operating costs by reducing power consumption by between 20% and 40%.

Paul McColl, systems product manager at Virtalis, said: “There is a great deal of complexity in achieving multiple points of view on fine-pixel-pitch dvLED displays.

“When combining two unique stereoscopic views into one system, they must operate at twice the frame rate of a traditional system. This has to be tracked and made visible without ghosting. The combination of the very best LED technology, with tracking from ART, 3D glasses from Volfoni and our expertise makes all this possible.”

SiliconCore Technology chief executive Eric Li said: “Our unique and patented technologies mean that we are the only LED manufacturer delivering a 240hz frame rate for 1.9mm – and soon for 1.2mm solutions.

“Our patented Common Cathode driver chip technologies include fast clock speeds to enable frame rates of 240hz and refresh rate of 7680hz, delivering uniform colour and defined images, with less motion blur.

“As the video production and simulation markets advance, our goal is to provide the highest resolution and performance solutions for XR environments.”

SiliconCore and Virtalis will be on Booth 5F440 at ISE.
