Actuality Systems Wins Circle of Excellence Award Actuality Systems Wins Circle of Excellence Award
The Perspecta spatial 3-D system is a combination of software and hardware that enables the use of standard modeling applications to create high-resolution 3-D images. The system generates images with height, width and depth inside a 20-in. dome, presenting understandable floating imagery to one or more viewers. Although the image appears to be holographic, it is real, full-volume imagery that can be viewed from any angle, even the top and back. Perspecta generates this imagery by projecting a...
