Christie is a leader in professional displays and visualization solutions. Today, the company announced that their groundbreaking 3D High Definition CAVE is being used to help the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. The CAVE uses several Christie Mirage projectors in order to create a 3D image for viewers. The CAVE uses a projector on each wall as well as the ceiling and floor. Each side projects their portion of the total picture allowing for a better 3D experience. Each projector used for the CAVE can display its own 1920 x 1920 resolution, which gives this specific CAVE a much higher resolution than previous CAVEs. Vanessa Borcherding, Systems Administrator for the Institute for Computational Biomedicine, Weill Cornell Medical College, remarked, “ The ICB is focused on enabling computational methodologies in the biological sciences, including genome studies, molecular modeling and modeling of cell and organ systems. The Cofrin Center’s Facility allows us to take many pieces of data from a computer and reconstruct it in an immersive 3D environment to help researchers make decisions and gain insights quickly and intuitively.”
