Fakespace Systems Inc. Introduces Affordable Active Stereoscopic Visualization System The WorkZ™ Bundled Solution Lowers Cost for High-Resolution 3D Viewing of Real-Time Simulation Applications Marshalltown, IA - April 6, 2005 - Fakespace Systems Inc. today announced the launch of the WorkZ™ Visualization System, a complete cost-effective, real-time computing and active stereoscopic projection system bundle. With a system cost below $US50,000, the Fakespace bundle provides all of the computing and hardware components for a large screen immersive display system, with image quality comparable to a 3-chip DLP™ projector and a list price equivalent to the cost of the DLP™ projector alone. The WorkZ™ system makes the benefits of high quality 3D visualization accessible to a broader range of designers, researchers and engineers who have been unable to realize the benefits of large-scale visualization because of the price of other active projection technologies. The bundle includes everything required to generate and display high quality, real-time stereo images. The system comprises:
Fakespace’s Beacon™ projection technology is a cost effective alternative to 3-chip DLP™ active stereo technology and a more adaptable technology than polarized (passive) projection systems. While polarized projection systems have traditionally been an affordable alternative to active stereo technology, Beacon’s innovation rests in its ability to project images with virtually no image ghosting (right eye/left eye cross-talk), superior contrast levels, reduced system footprints, and more screen options at a price comparable to passive technologies. “In our discussions with end users, we have repeatedly heard that they desire high quality stereoscopic images but cannot justify the price of 3-chip DLP™ technology for single screen projection,” said Dr. Chris Clover, president and chief executive officer of Fakespace Systems Inc. “The WorkZ™ system fills this void with exceptional images and a complete, integrated solution. ” Fakespace also offers a range of options for the WorkZ™ system, including motion tracking systems, audio, enclosures and application development software. ### About Mechdyne Corporation Mechdyne Corporation is the world’s largest company dedicated to consulting and development of immersive, networked and collaborative visualization systems.
