Barco brings group VR to construction planning meeting rooms

Barco brings group VR to construction planning meeting rooms Kortrijk, Belgium, 22 October 2019 - Barco, a world leader in virtual reality visualization, is proud to introduce the Canvas, a new solution for companies that want to take their next steps in VR and bring 3D images to a group of decision-makers and experts, while still being able to interact with each other. Barco's Canvas is the first VR solution that both serves the needs of group VR sessions and regular meetings. In this way, the Canvas suits 2 distinct purposes, allowing customers to maximize on their investment. The Canvas is applicable in all markets where 3D images are coupled with business objectives, with a focus on AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction).

Many VR users want to enhance their 3D visualization capabilities and shake off the disadvantages of Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) that isolate users and strongly hinder collaboration. However, it takes careful consideration of use cases, workflow, budget and space to get to this next level. Because the use cases are often not yet to the point where they work in virtual reality 100% of the time, getting approval for these projects can be difficult.

Barco's Canvas is the solution. This new system consists of 3 projection surfaces, set up at an angle of 135 , and opens a new era for virtual reality in enterprises. It enables an increasing number of users to experience group VR that fosters collaboration between teams and allows customers to preview and assess buildings or designs before they are built. The ability to do this in the convenience of a meeting room, while at the same time using the screen as a traditional display, is truly unique.
