 STAFF and students at the University of Warwick have long dreaded that point in the Warwick's biochemistry degree when lecturers have to attempt to explain the arcane and intricate three-dimensional geometry of protein structures obtained by X-ray crystallography. Now, thanks to Virtalis, these daunting lectures have been transformed into one of the biochemistry degree's most unusual learning experiences - something Warwick University believes is more akin to a 3D cinema experience. |

Custom configuration optimises tracking performance, ensuring all system components are out of pilot sight  VIRTALIS, the European leading VR Company, has just installed a custom configured, InterSense, IS-900 motion tracking system in BAE Systems Active Cockpit Rig (ACR) which was developed for Typhoon pilots. The hybrid inertial-acoustic IS-900 system is coupled with an area-of-interest eye-tracking system, ensuring that the BAE Systems configuration delivers real-time tracking of head position and orientation, as well as monitoring the movement of the pilot's eyes.

 SPECIALIST research using real time Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) data was the springboard for the new Virtalis VR system on the University of Genoa’s Savona Campus. Prof. Carlo Cravero explained: “We have established links with the University of Cambridge, who also use a Virtalis StereoWorks system to understand flow. We hope to take our research one step further and develop an interactive system using haptic devices to alter the CFD data in real time. We call this “flow sculpting” and it will allow us to modify the geometry, thus facilitating real design improvements.” |

 VIRTALIS, best known for being Europe’s top Virtual Reality Company, has extended its rapid prototyping capability by becoming a reseller in the UK for EnvisionTEC’s Perfactory product range of 3D printers.
Tony Brown, EnvisionTEC spokesman, explained: ”Once people have designed a new product in CAD and then transformed it into a 3D virtual model, many then also want to inspect a physical prototype. In this respect there is great synergy between EnvisionTEC and Virtalis and there are many other qualities we share too, such as quality and technical innovation.” |

 VIRTALIS, the leading specialist visualisation company, has developed the Virtalis Visionary Framework, a technology to get more value from PC clustering. Although the Visionary Cluster can act on its own, it can also be harnessed to PTC’s high end, visualisation software, DIVISION MockUp. When working in tandem in this way, Virtalis’ “MockUp on a PC Cluster” allows the manipulation of large data models. As the new Visionary system requires off-the-shelf PCs, rather than the traditional supercomputer often expected of 3D visualisation, both purchase and maintenance costs are exceedingly low. |

Virtalis operates in many sectors and the diversity of our projects are represented by the press releases we distribute each year. Below you will see a sample of the most recent.
COVENTRY University has long been recognised as a Centre of Excellence for automotive design. Now its undergraduate and postgraduate students are to get a bit more help in the shape of a Virtalis StereoWorks passive 3D stereo visualisation system. The massive flat panel screen is mounted on the floor, so virtual vehicles can drive right out, enabling tutors and students to see the design at its intended size.
