Past Projects

The following projects have contributed to the knowledge and expertise that we are able to offer:
The Reality Centre
The world’s first Reality Centre was devised and built by David Hughes and his team in 1993 at Silicon Graphics in the UK. This innovation brought together a number of key technologies to create an immersive facility that provided high performance visualisation with interactive collaboration in a focused and efficient environment. This rapidly became a popular visualisation solution (read more...)

Media Fusion
Media Fusion is a revolutionary visualisation and decision making software architecture, which enables interactive access to complex media from multiple sources in a dynamic, powerful workspace. Unlike traditional information walls, which are configured to work with 2D windows, Media Fusion enabled information to be organised and accessed in a 3D ‘Landscape’ which forms a collaborative environment for advanced decision making and information analysis.
