Virtalis Wins ISE Best of Show Award for Multi-Point of View Interactive VR on SiliconCore XR LED Display
We are proud to announce that our multi-point of view (MPOV) interactive VR experience, delivered in partnership with SiliconCore on its 1.9mm XR LED Display at ISE 2024, has been awarded the ISE Best of Show Award by Future’s AV Technology publication. This groundbreaking innovation is redefining the potential of immersive environments, bringing multi-user VR experiences to LED displays like never before.
A world first for multi-point of view VR on SiliconCore XR LED Display
This marks the first time a multi-point of view (MPOV) interactive VR experience has been created on SiliconCore’s 1.9mm XR LED Display, a feat made even more impressive by the fact that we have also achieved it on finer pixel pitches as small as 1.2mm. This innovation represents a significant step forward in crafting fully immersive environments on LED displays, allowing multiple users to interact with complex datasets in real time, all while having their own unique perspective tracked and visualised.
The implications of this breakthrough are vast. For the first time, teams can collaborate within the same immersive environment, each engaging with data from their own point of view, without needing VR headsets. This enables richer collaboration, whether it's for engineering, manufacturing, simulation, or experiential learning, making the potential applications nearly limitless.
Technology innovation with SiliconCore’s cutting-edge LED display
The success of this MPOV VR experience was made possible thanks to SiliconCore’s LED technology, specifically the Common Cathode driver chip that powers their 1.9mm XR LED Display. This innovation allows for fast clock speeds and a 240Hz frame rate, enabling the display to support multiple users with different viewing frequencies simultaneously.
Each user sees data aligned with their specific frequency, which means multiple users can view the same dataset from their own tracked perspective or explore entirely different datasets in real time. This dynamic interaction is key for industries that rely on immersive data visualisation, such as architecture, defence, and heavy manufacturing, where different perspectives on complex data can improve decision-making and reduce design inefficiencies.
Proprietary VR software powers the interactive experience
At the heart of this immersive experience is Visionary Render, our proprietary VR software. This powerful backend solution enables multiple users to be tracked within the same space, synchronising different environments in real time across different frequencies. By overlaying unique datasets or environments for each participant, Visionary Render provides a seamless multi-user interaction, making the experience both immersive and practical for business applications.
This innovation allows for collaborative design reviews, simulations, and training environments without the limitations of traditional VR headsets. With Visionary Render, businesses can fully harness the potential of Immersive Virtual Reality on LED walls.
The best partners for an immersive collaboration
To bring this complex, multi-point VR solution to life, we collaborated with the best in the industry. SiliconCore’s LED displays formed the foundation of the visual experience, while an ART tracking system ensured that each user’s physical position was accurately reflected in the virtual environment. Additionally, Volfoni active 3D glasses were used to deliver real-time 3D visualisation, allowing users to interact with the environment naturally and intuitively.
Together, these technologies created a fully integrated immersive solution that is shaping the future of VR in sectors such as defence, higher education, infrastructure, and complex manufacturing.
Next-generation user experience with multi-point of view VR
Our MPOV experience on LED walls is set to revolutionise how businesses handle design review workflows, simulations, and experiential learning. This next-generation immersive environment delivers cross-platform collaboration in real time, enabling teams to work together on the same dataset without needing to wear cumbersome VR headsets. The result is an unparalleled user experience that enhances collaboration while allowing users to stay connected to the physical world.
This technology offers key benefits for businesses, including faster time-to-market, improved right-first-time design, and more efficient manufacturing processes. By integrating Immersive Visualisation with multi-user VR experiences, businesses can streamline collaboration across the supply chain and reduce the inefficiencies often caused by traditional design methods.
The judges' verdict on our multi-point of view VR solution
But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what the judges at ISE had to say about this groundbreaking achievement:
“The partnership between SiliconCore and Virtalis is one of the most exciting examples of how AV can improve complex business product development in the VR realm.”
This award underscores the importance of innovation in the AV industry and how immersive technologies like ours are enabling businesses to address challenges more efficiently and collaboratively.
