Project Overview
The RIL-Virtual Reality Centre is a 3D visualization space where geologists from RIL’s Oil and Gas vertical to analyse 3D volumes (blocks of the earth) to monitor drilling progress and assess mineral availability.
Technology and Setup
The centre utilizes two high-end workstations (image generators) running Windows and Linux OS to operate software like Petrel and Landmark.
This is achieved using two cross-fired Christie 3D projectors (Mirage WU-7KM) on a spherical compound curve screen. The projectors are edge-blended with a 20% overlap in the centre, managed by Christie Twist Pro software.
Managed using an RGB Spectrum Linx Matrix Switcher and a Christie Spyder X20 processor, allowing real-time window resizing, positioning, and picture-in-picture (PIP) and layering functionality through multiple presets.
Fully digital, with transport from image processors to projectors handled by Think Logical Fiber KVM extenders.
Achieved using active IR emitters on top of the screen, with the entire signal chain capable of transporting, processing, and regenerating the 3D signal.
