Fakespace Systems Inc., a leader in
immersive visualization systems, and Alias|Wavefront(TM), an SGI company and leading provider of software for computer-aided industrial design (CAID), are collaborating to advance interaction in design and virtual environments.
"It is about bringing the power of
immersive visualization to addressing serious business challenges.
The company has implemented a computer-simulated environment in Auburn Hills, Michigan, that uses real-time
immersive visualization technologies to let design teams experience as-built systems.
Based in part on her background in clinical psychology and her work as a photographer, as well as her intense interest in new,
immersive visualization technologies, Rita created DETOUR: Brain Deconstruction Ahead [2, 3] in the hope of allowing participants to share the altered sensorimotor world she experiences as a TBI survivor.
