Virtual Prototyping and Simulation (VPS, in short), nowadays has become the virtual standard method in product development: A computer model of the object is created already in the development phase and the virtual result is inspected like a real prototype. This saves time and money, helps to avoid errors and increases the quality of the product.
However, this topic is so challenging that even large business operations like to rely on cooperations with specialised university institutes, such as the Heinz Nixdorf Institute in Paderborn (Germany).
Here, a new HD Visualization Centre was just opened which is equipped with a versatile configurable 4-sided projection. One exterior side of the projection can be moved freely and can be adjusted from 4.70 meters to 7.30 meters.
For the sides as well as the floor projection, 12 Christie Matrix HD2 projectors are being used which project stereoscopic 3D images at a resolution of up to 20 mega pixels. The enormously high resolution of the projection areas was an important criterion in the conceptualization of the system. Dr.-Ing. Jan Berssenbrügge from the University of Paderborn describes it as a “never before achieved resolution and brilliance”. One of the deciding factors for the Christie 3-chip DLP projectors was, among others, that they are equipped with XENON lamps, for an ideal colour reproduction and quality.
