VR Presenter - Interactive Real Time Video- and 3D-Enriched Presentations
Real Time 3D Virtual Set Presentation Recording and Streaming System in a Convenient Turn-Key Device!
The only solution on the market capable of providing educators and presenters with the tools necessary for creating, presenting , and distributing live, interactive content to on-line learners.
The primary function of the VR Presenter is to create the illusion that a subject is standing, sitting or otherwise interacting with a virtual, 3D background in real time. It is designed for seamless integration with existing video-conferencing and distance-learning systems.
High-resolution (XGA) virtual sets ensure the best possible quality output for video projectors, LCD monitors, and plasma screens. Users can quickly and easily load and run PowerPoint slides, Macromedia Flash animations, Web pages, instructional video clips and manipulate 3D graphic models during a live presentation. The enhanced presentations can be used in conjunction with traditional live lectures or to replace them entirely. They can also be streamed live, recorded, and uploaded to Learning Management System (LMS) sites for distribution and viewing at the student’s convenience.
These key technological innovations make the VR Presenter for Education so easy to use:
- Simple Key Pad Operation
- Controllability over 2D/3D sets and objects insertions
- Advanced Color Keying
- Real time 3D rendering hardware
- Multi-camera display and switching
- Pre-rendered and free hand virtual camera animation
- Integrates with VGA / XGA recording / streaming system
How the System Works:
Easily Create Captivating Content:
The VR Presenter is based on Darim’s innovative real-time 3D virtual set system, optimized to allow for single-person operation. It mixes live video of the presenter into a 3D environment, with all the controls right at the user’s fingertips. To create visual interest and variety, the presenter uses a simple key pad to control virtual cameras, moving from close-ups to long shots and tracking movement from side to side. The presenter can also pull up virtual screens to display Power Points, videos, pictures, and graphs through an easy-to-understand user interface, controlled either by key pad or touch screen.
Record Live Presentations:
Recording live lectures or presentations for broadcasting purposes always poses a challenge. The quality of video output taken by professional videographers is greatly affected by the surroundings—lighting, reflections on a projector screen, camera angles, and acoustics, for example. The VR Presenter addresses this issue with its intelligent auto-keying algorithm that adjusts to lights and user environments, minimizing the impact of less-than-ideal conditions.
Stream Content Live or VOD:
In order to stream video over existing IP, content must be compressed. Unlike other systems, the VR Presenter incorporates Darim’s proprietary algorithm for video compression, which takes a lot less bandwidth for streaming high-quality videos. That means that content can be sent over the Internet without compromising image quality. The remote audience will view full XGA picture quality—down to the details of a Power Point slide—with just standard Internet connectivity. This process gives viewers access to an animated, interactive experience very similar to the live lecture room.
Seamless Integration
To be effective in classroom pedagogy, technology has to be simple to use, not a distraction. With its one-person operation, the VR Presenter is a natural solution in this setting, without disrupting the pace of the information flow.
VR Presenter for Classroom
The VR Presenter integrates seamlessly into the classroom structure, functioning as a powerful adjunct to existing equipment. Users can quickly load and run PowerPoint slides, Flash animations, online news and content, and instructional video clips without missing a beat. In addition, 3D graphic models can be easily manipulated during the live presentation. Users create content simply by recording their lectures, no editing required. All course materials can be uploaded instantly for immediate availability.
Easily installed in the classroom in a standalone unit or in an elegant lectern, the system can be used in combination with traditional live lectures or to replace them entirely, enhancing the way students absorb instructional materials.
VR Presenter with LMS
Learning Management Systems are very useful to manage daily tasks and evaluate assignments, tests, projects, lecture notes, discussions, and grades, but this type of record-keeping is only part of the education mission. It does not enhance the way students learn. However, when the dramatic video content created in VR Presenter is integrated into the LMS, a simple upload, it’s a different story. All the pedagogical pieces come together, and students and teachers alike benefit from an active, engaging learning environment.
VR Presenter for Interactive Learning
The system allows the user to create interesting and engaging live 3D video that can be incorporated with video-conferencing technology to stream to remote classrooms or throughout the campus. The output from the VR Presenter, integrated with any mainstream multi-points conferencing software, can turn a simple conferencing solution into an informative presentation/conferencing system for people in different locations. It’s the simple way of crafting a multi-directional interactive learning environment.
