Сurved projection screen

No one is surprised anymore by large flat screens with high-resolution images, because. Today, such know-how is in almost every home and has become commonplace for us. But the developers of innovative solutions do not stand still and increasingly use curved screens with high-precision images in TVs and personal computer monitors, which allows the viewer to immerse themselves in the action taking place on the screen as much as possible.

The American company Pixelwix is the leader in the development and manufacture of curved screens and software for them. The company originates in the distant 2008 and is located in Florida of the United States of America. To date, Pixelwix has developed unique software for changing the projection geometry of an image so that it can be displayed on multiple connected screens. In simple terms, the Pixelwix Evo program allows you to deform an image and superimpose it on a screen of absolutely any shape. All this, for example, made it possible to create a notorious, world-famous, inseparable circular installation for the Whitney Museum in New York. When creating such high-tech facilities, the company uses only the most durable and reliable materials. For example, extruded aluminum is used to create the screen frame. This material allows for a very light yet incredibly strong construction. The screens themselves are fastened with an invisible seam and are made of an elastic polymer.

Another important area of application for Pixelwix products has been various kinds of simulators that use connected curved screens to create a hyper-realistic environment for safe training sessions. For example, airlines use them in flight simulators, car manufacturers - in the process of learning to drive. Both types of simulators described above use a development called the Sim Pod, which is a 12 or 16 foot closed cylindrical structure with curved screens built inside. The projector is usually installed on the ceiling, while the training environment itself, such as a flight simulator with all the controls, is located in front of the screens. Entry to the simulator occurs through the back open part of the structure, which is covered with a special breathable opaque material to focus attention on the training itself. In this regard, the scope of application of the SimPod can be as diverse as the level of realism and immersion allows. In addition, the technology is used in sports simulators such as a golf simulator. Separately, I would like to note the military scope. The company offers a shooting training simulator, where, in addition to the above screens and structures, special highly sensitive cameras and electronic weapons are used. At the time of the shot, an electronic weapon or a firearm equipped with a special cartridge creates an infrared dot at the point of impact, which the camera captures and transmits the data to the Pixelwix IR program, which in turn projects the result on the screen in the form of a hit on the target.

As we can see, Pixelwix's virtual shooting range works, like other shooting simulators, on the principle of reading the laser light spot at the point of impact with an infrared camera and its subsequent processing. All this allows us to conclude that the Pixelwix shooting simulator is fully compatible with the SHOOTING-SOFT software. Our company has a wide range of game plots, as well as training programs designed for professional training of shooters and military athletes, such as Pro Target Constructor and Pro Tасtical Constructor.
