Imagina 2010 report
Lumiscaphe always attends the European New Technologies and Virtual Reality Show in Monaco
This event, which took place between February 3 and 5 2010 gathered this year nearly 2000 visitors in three days. With 798 companies from 36 countries attending, Imagina is the major event of the beginning of the year for the professionals of the virtual reality world.
For its fourth involvement in a row Lumiscaphe displayed the last novelties of the P3D software suite.
«Participating in such an event is for us the opportunity to present our new P3D software suite to the public, but also to meet professionals who might become industrial partners or new customers.
The displays of our flagship software : Patchwork3D v4.0 aroused a keen interest which is a rather good omen for the future of our software development.
P3D Ray-it, the last born of our software suite, was also a big hit. The 3D imagery professionals, looking for a solution allowing them to associate real-time rendering and picture realism with a raytracing engine, are numerous. P3D Ray-it brings this new rendering ability to our software range.»

The P3D softwares presented in HD
This year, Lumiscaphe was presenting, as a European preview, the last 4K screen from Sony, with its staggering dimensions (3840px X 2160px) to enjoy the P3D software in very high definition.
The screen wideness covers in size 4 full HD monitors side by side(2X2). To navigate this non-standard display, which requires 4 video entries, Lumiscaphe used NVIDIA's Quadro Plex, equipped with two graphic boards FX 5800.
This set-up allowed a wide public to (re)discover all the magnificence of the textures and the subtlety of materials created with Patchwork3D, thereby giving the viewers a way to appreciate the slightest details from up close or from far away.
Patchwork3D in 3D relief
On the Lumiscaphs booth, visitors had also the opportunity to discover the new generation of stereoscopic board developed by Planar and distributed by Schneider Digital.
This device, made of two 26’’ screens placed at 120 ° from each other and separated by a stereoscopic mirror, allows, with polarized glasses, a visualization of a 3D scene in raised-relief, thereby reinforcing in a spectacular manner the impression of realism of the models.
The device’s retractable mirror can go from a stereoscopic to a standard rendering in just one movement, thereby enabling to easily shift from a 3D presentation mode to a 2D work counter.
This sort of set up is based on an ingenious technology whose main advantage, compared to other stereoscopic systems, is not to distort the rendering resolution. This constraint is essential to fully appreciate the picture realistic qualities of the textures' treatment on the P3D software.
Lumiscaphe is looking forward to meeting you at the next exhibition Imagina 2011 wich will take place from the 1st to February 3, 2011. In the interim, all the team wishes you a great year 2010 full of virtual emotions.
