Brio Supports BYOD – Best New Wireless Accessory

The

Christie Brio presentation

and collaboration system is a family of three product solutions that share similar interfaces and control protocols to provide an integrated user experience through one unit. Supporting the ‘Bring Your Own Device” or BYOD environment, the

Christie Brio Team

, the newest addition to the group, is a ‘plug and play’ unit that makes it easy for individuals to wirelessly stream content onto displays from devices such as PCs, tablets, smartphones.

Brio Team+

gives users all the features of Christie Brio Team as well as adding HD video sources to local meeting content, providing the advantage of displaying original video content at native resolutions through DVI-D wired video inputs. And, the

Brio Enterprise

allows collaborators to not only share and annotate content in the same room, but also enables secure collaboration and sharing of high-quality content between multiple locations as if there were in the same space.

Christie Design Studio: Real-time projection mapping – Best Concept Product

The Christie Design Studio, showcasing a one-fifth

Hyphen

-created scale model of a Corvette C7 Stingray at InfoComm 2014 demonstrated how imagination can become reality. Tools like projection mapping can be a catalyst to visual communications and the sharing of experiences. The C7 displayed at InfoComm was developed in collaboration with

3DXCITE

and

Ventuz

, and built on top of

RTT DeltaGen

software – the same tool many automakers use for digital review of new car designs . To bring the car to life, the model rested within a diorama constructed of

ChristieA® MicroTilesA®

, multiple combined

Christie G Series 1-chip DLPA®

projectors with

Christie Twistâ„¢ LT

for warping and blending. Through projection mapped photorealistic graphics, and by interacting with a touch panel, users could explore design options instantly and customize their vehicle.

Easily deployed in any environment, the Christie Design Studio concept can be used in many settings beyond the auto industry, including retail where clothing can be mapped onto mannequins or where an infinite number of style choices can be mapped onto a shoe. An architectural firm could bring a proposed building model to a meeting and use projection mapping to show the customer how shadows and light will appear at different times of the day or year. A museum could have a large stock of 3D-printed copies of artifacts that could be brought to life by placing them into the projection field. Christie continues to make projection mapping more accessible and easy to use for customers and markets. The company’s new projection mapping resource, with scores of projects done around the world is available as a

free downloadable app for iOS devices, Android devices, and as a PDF file
