ICATCHER System Overview




What is ICATCHER?

ICATCHER is an immersive stereoscopic turnkey display solution that uses standard LCD or DLP projectors together with EON Software and an active stereo converter on the single screen.

The system allows intuitive, real-time interaction with a front or back projected single or multiple screens with realistic 3D imagery that is responsive to the user’s actions and can display multiple objects or a full environment.

EON software is used to display an interactive 3D model from a standard CAD or 3D modeling software in quad-buffer stereo mode.

ICATCHER uses no mirrors to preserve brightness and provide a more robust system.

EON Immersive Software

  • Easy to use graphical authoring tool allowing non-programmers to add complex interactive effects.

  • Easy import of most generic CAD and 3D formats, allowing easy use and manipulation of objects and textures from a wide range of 3D modeling tools.

  • Pre-programmed interactive node functionality that minimizes development time for new applications.

  • Graphical User Interface based web publisher that makes it easier to embed EON applications with rich communication to web pages.

  • High rendering quality - EON offers a superb visual quality incl. support for light maps and anti-aliasing.

  • Easily integrated with other standard software.

  • Multi user environment, several people can share the experience and collaborate.

  • Sensory interaction through the use of data gloves, motion tracking and force feedback devices.

  • Perspective viewing control through stereoscopic software settings.

  • Supports high quality quad buffer stereo.

  • Easy, Fast, Reliable and Intuitive Real-Time Interaction
Features

Stereo 3D Converter supports a standard frame sequential stereo monitor signal from all types of sources.

Compatibility with a wide range of Virtual Reality peripherals such as data gloves, Head Mounted Displays (HMD), motion tracking systems, joysticks etc.

Expands the scope and functionality of a desktop or web based EON 3D application.

Cost effective single or multi channel application via the use of cluster visualization (a proprietary EON technology that enables multi-channel display systems using ordinary PC’s).

Fully integrated with the EON software product family.
