Vision Engineering Ltd has unveiled a globally patented, digital 3-D stereoscopic display technology.
Vision Engineering's deep reality viewer (DRV) is designed to create stereo high definition 3-D images without using a monitor, or requiring operators to wear headsets or specialist glasses: images `float' in front of a mirror.
DRV offers users Vision Engineering advantages of ergonomics and optimized user interfaces, while ensuring full interaction with other local or remote users and other tools/PCs or complementary analytical equipment.
"Vision Engineering anticipates that this unique, first-to-market device will be particularly valuable to organizations that model and test components in 3-D, as well as facilitating improvements in manufacturing processes such as PCB inspection and reworking," said a company spokesperson. "DRV has the particular advantage for multi-site companies of offering real-time, full HD 3-D stereo images to multiple users in different locations at the same time (commonly known as 'daisy chaining')."
Manufacturing companies have tried to exploit the potential offered to them by consumer driven technological trends in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and 3-D polarized/shutter glass viewing. Along with the advantages of these breakthrough technologies, they have experienced substantial drawbacks in sensory isolation, disorientation and resolution.
Modern manufacturing techniques involve multi-site communicability in real time. The latest trends of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things and the cascade effect of Blockchain require information to be accessible to multiple users, at the same time, with the same fidelity.
Developed to address quality control and production requirements in sectors including electronics, aerospace, automotive and medical industries, DRV offers full, real-time transferability of information to multi-site manufacturers, designers or users of multi-tier development and logistic capabilities.
"DRV carries on the company's 60-year long tradition of creating ergonomic, high quality visual inspection and metrology systems that reduce operator fatigue and improve accuracy, consistency and productivity, but, critically, exploits modern digital capability to communicate across substantial distances," said the spokesperson.
Using Vision Engineering's globally patented TriTeQ3 digital 3-D display technology, the DRV Z1 (Zoom model 1) incorporates a zoom microscope module and is the first device of its class to be launched by the manufacturer.
DRV Z1 is designed to advance the quality control and production process, by enabling operators to view magnified subjects in 3-D, in enhanced detail, without the need for additional viewing apparatus.
Mark Curtis, Managing Director of Vision Engineering, said, "DRV Z1 provides enhanced 3-D visualization and overcomes current problems with 3-D modelling and inspection systems. By amalgamating our existing technologies, we have delivered an entirely new concept to our existing customer base, as well as opening up opportunities in fresh markets."
Features include:
- DRV enables stereoscopic 3-D viewing with vivid depth perception, at UHD resolution, without requiring special eyewear or VR headsets
- Developed to address QC and QA requirements in electronics, automotive engineering, aerospace industries and all precision engineering applications
- Break-through technology from the inventors of the ergonomic Mantis microscopes
- "An amalgamation of Vision Engineering's award-winning optical stereoscopic and digital technologies resulting in stereo digital images," said a company spokespreson
- Ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue and promotes productivity and accuracy
- Enables remote viewing of dynamic 3-D images in in stereo full HD
- Enables improved accuracy in manufacturing processes such as deburring and reworking
- DRV Z1 is the first in series of innovative 3-D stereo full HD resolution viewing systems, based on Vision Engineering's patented TriTeQ3 technology.
The DRV Z1 will be launched in North America this month. Several launch sites have been selected and details of this launch will follow.
Vision TriTeQ is a division of Vision Engineering Group. Vision Engineering has been designing and manufacturing ergonomic microscopes, digital instruments, inspection and non-contact measuring systems for over 60 years.
