Early on, PINKAU achieved international recognition through innovative ideas and developments in the area of virtual reality. A multitude of projects on different topics such as automotive history, football game or sailing competition could be successfully experienced immersively in virtual worlds. Planning, storyboard, development and production of the virtual worlds and structural implementation were realized by PINKAU according to the requirements and customer requirements.
To achieve the feeling of immersion, virtual three-dimensional worlds are spatially visualized via head-mounted displays. Special input devices enable interaction with the virtual environment. Optical tracking systems allow free movement in real time.
PINKAU developed a virtual reality system with a 360-degree view to introduce the NissanZ350. Driving the car model was an immersive experience.
If a part of the reality is preserved in the virtual world or if the real world is supplemented with virtual information, one speaks of augmented reality or augmented reality. By overlaying information or images in real time, complex relationships become more comprehensible and the clarity is enormously increased. The three-dimensional extension can find a wide variety of applications: navigation, conferences or visualizations of different situations and conditions.
Simulators provide an impressive immersive experience through their spatial, reality-based environment and their ability to move. Virtual environments are visualized via projections. Appropriate input devices control the movement of the simulator and the movement in the virtual environment. PINKAU developed and produced individual simulators for a wide range of topics for numerous projects and customers.
The intuitive, non-contact control of systems and applications represents a new dimension of interaction. In the foreground is the natural movement and spatial perception of the human being. Control is via a combination of camera and sensors. Applications can be found in a wide variety of areas.
Virtual worlds projected onto the ground react to movement. An innovative method to protect the ground e.g. to transform into a play area.
Designated as a vision of the future a few years ago gesture control finds an application in human-computer interaction.
Using computer-aided devices with the power of thought: brainwaves are measured and forwarded to the computer as an input command.
