Simulation plays an increasingly important role in virtual vehicle and machine development. Visual test systems, test kilometres in secure laboratories and scenario displays benefit from our LED solutions.

We build 360° LED caves, rotundas, bridges and complete tunnels in organic forms: concave, convex and dynamically shaped. As the only integrator combining LED visualisation surfaces with mechanical and kinetic structures, we bring together design and structural engineering, control technology and mechanics, metalwork and prototyping. The result is a coordinated, fully functioning solution.

All of this is delivered in house by our own teams.

Our solutions create seamless 360° LED surfaces with a refresh rate of 240 Hz and active 3D. LED technology significantly reduces the smearing that can occur with projection and enables realistic glare effects. This can recreate, for example, driving out of a tunnel into sudden sunlight. Combined with very low latency, it creates an immersive sense of entering a real world and makes the virtual environment easy to forget.
