VIRTALIS has won the contract to furnish Portsmouth University with a complete Virtual Reality (VR) laboratory for its Centre for Design and Technology.

Consisting of two rooms, the first room will boast a five metre wide screen, flanked by two smaller three metre wide screens.  The rear projected stereo system will enable three channel passive stereo with both optical and wireless magnetic tracking.  The second room will feature VR development workstations complete with auto-stereo monitors, Phantom haptic devices and a range of VR development software, allowing students and researchers to create detailed virtual environments which can then be viewed collaboratively in the projection suite.
