OmniFocus® Projection Systems
Ultra-wide projection that stays in focus everywhere

As the quality, resolution, and brightness of video projectors have increased, single channel fisheye projection systems are increasingly being used in environments where multi-channel systems were once necessary. The patent-pending Omnifocus Projection Systems dramatically increase the overall simplicity and flexibility of immersive environment design, providing a number of pragmatic benefits over conventional multi-channel systems. These benefits include:

• Infinite depth of field (enabling a variety of projector placements and screen surfaces)
• Rapid development of single-channel real-time applications
• 180°x135° FOV maximizes available resolution and comfortably seats audience above the horizon line
• Some systems are available with 180°x180° FOV for traditional planetarium projection
• No multi-channel edge blending, content splicing and dicing, or color correction
• No synchronization of multiple computer channels
• Reduced overall cost for both content production and long-term system maintenance

The Elumenati OmniMap™ geometry correction libraries can be used to modify the image perspective so that it looks correct no matter where the user or the projector is located relative to the screen. This innovation, coupled with the infinite depth of field of the fisheye lens, allows a great deal of flexibility in the placement of both the projector and the user within the space.
