High-Performance Projection Table

BARON

Specially Designed DAB (Diffuse and Bright) screen

• Higher brightness and color uniformity than standard

diffuse screens

• Wide viewing angle, provides maximum image perception

from any angle

Superb Image Quality

Based on the B

ARCOREALITY 908 and the specially designed

DAB screen, the B

ARON renders high quality graphics images

with unprecedented sharpness and quality.

Easy to Transport and Set Up

• Modular design of the B

ARON enables easy setup and

disassembly in less than 30 minutes

• All parts fit through any standard door opening

Outstanding Ergonomics

• Can be repositioned at the height and angle best suited

for the operator; the angle and height can be read out

and controlled in a user-friendly manner

• Convenient space for the operator’s feet

VR Stereoscopic 3D Projection

• Standard with ‘fast phosphor’ green CRT for stereoscopic

projection

• The polymer-composite materials are ‘tracking device-

friendly’ for stereoscopic projection

The B

ARON is a virtual modeling

solution, which allows users to

collaboratively engineer and

design in real-time. This high-

performance projection table

enables multiple designers to

simultaneously evaluate a 3D

representation of their product

and make design changes as

a group, thereby reducing the

time-to-market and the cost

of prototype development.

The B

ARON also proves to be a great

tool for cost-effective research in

other domains, such as molecular

modeling.

Engineer and Design Collaboratively in Re

Compact, Modular Design

The BARON fits perfectly even

in the most space-critical

environments.

Quick set-up and disassembly in

less than 30 minutes.

All B

ARON components can

pass through any standard

doorway.

Super-flexible IR emitter holders

enable orientation of the emitters

for optimal reception of the IR

synchronization signal.

Lightweight, polymer-

composite materials,

‘tracking device friendly’

for stereoscopic 3D

applications.

Plate-mounted rubber castors,

fitted with total lock brakes ensure

that the mobile BARON can be

made rock-steady.

Fully Tiltable

between 0° and 90°

The desktop angle is adjustable

to suit work style or viewing

preferences.

The motorized B

ARON is tiltable from

a fully horizontal (0°) to a fully

vertical (90°) position. The height

and angle can be set continuously

from 1 m (3.3’) to 1.5 m (4.9’) and

from 0° to 90°. They can be set via:

• RS232 command control

• projector remote control

• net adapted remote control

Stereoscopic Projection Ready

The BARON comes standard with a

‘fast phosphor’ green CRT for

3D projection.

An active pair of glasses works in

perfect synchronization with the

projector through the infrared

emitter (the left eye shutter is

closed when the right eye

information is projected and vice

versa).

For applications where

interaction with the computer is

necessary to fully evaluate the

stereoscopic image, an optional

tracking system can easily be

configured using Barco’s iW

IZARD

software.

At 90° the motorized BARON can be

used as a perfect presentation tool or

a mini immersive system.

High-Resolution

ARCOREALITY

908

The BARON is equipped with the

high-resolution B

ARCOREALITY 908

CRT projector with digital 6-

pole beam correction. This

guarantees superb focus quality

across the entire projected image.

The B

ARCOREALITY 908 offers

unequalled flexibility with digital

control over all geometry,

convergence, focus and

astigmatism adjustments.

Unique Angle & Height

Read-Out and Control

In order to generate the correct

stereoscopic perspective one needs

to know the angle and height of

the screen. The motorized B

ARON

has a unique built-in sensors

mechanism that not only enables

the user to read out the B

ARON

screen position and orientation,

but also allows real-time control

via RS232 communication.

Specially Designed

DAB Screen

The Diffuse And Bright (DAB)

screen offers a higher brightness

and color uniformity than standard

diffuse screens and provides

maximum image perception from

any angle.

Ultra-stable table support

Built-in electromagnetically

shielded loudspeakers

(optional).

On-screen angle & height feedback.
