New State-of-the-Art CIVS Immersive Theater

CIVS recently upgraded its Immersive Theater, enabling exciting state-of-the-art visualization capabilities, while supporting the center’s long-term mission of conducting cutting edge research in Visualization and Simulation. The more modern 24′ x 9′ LED curved screen supports a much higher resolution than the old projector-based system. It also still allows for backward compatibility with a lot of the content that the previous system was used for. There are also new features that the system can support, such as better support for VR devices, better connectivity options for external laptops and devices, and adjustable brightness for the screen that can be adjusted on the fly based on the content being shown.

The new system will support continued and updated immersive experiences for industry, university, and community partners and visitors, and be a facet of CIVS for years to come.  Since its completion in July, CIVS project demonstrations in the new curved screen has already been impressed by a number of visitors including our PNW Chancellor Dr. Chris Holford & New Provost Dr. Maria Mora, Hydrogen Hub leader Dr. Elizabeth Koch, Stelco, Canadian National (CN), and other international and local industry leaders, as well as PNW new students.
