Problem: Virtual and augmented realities, telepresence, the CAVE have all been stymied for years. Missing is an efficient simple way to provide vivid bright dimensional images in curved space. Digital 3D flat screen cinema is muddy & dull & produces headaches
Solution: In early 2000 Troyer introduced her disruptive patented MetatronZ laser projection/ camera solution to the industry. Troyer proved that digital images could be comparable to film and that full color spectrum is possible. She provided the formula for creating real time vivid dimensional images (w/o glasses). These images are more photorealistic (like the eye sees nature).
MetatronZ makes possible an evolved CAVE (holodeck playpen). Troyer’s designs are open architecture (can be upgraded). Immersive interactive worlds are intensified and become even more realistic as sensors and cameras evolve.
Troyer Statement: MetatronZ provides the missing link for immersive virtual reality/ augmented reality/ simulation and training, etc. Troyer believes that for best effect, it is imperative that the participant is able to move freely, interacting in the HIVE worlds (small children, gamers, brain injured, elderly, disaster relief trainees, designers, architects, etc.).
MetatronZ laser camera/ projector –the keystone for the HIVE.
The HIVE is an evolved CAVE (holodeck playpen).
Sensors change the game. Players with Xbox and Kinect don’t need a helmet or goggles.
No helmet needed in the HIVE —no paraphernalia, but Google glass can help with situation awareness.
The participant has to stay seated when wearing a virtual reality helmet (Oculus Rift).
HIVE platforms: advanced KISS- streamlined tool chest; efficient interoperability, enhanced ecosystem interconnectivity: Tools for depth sensors; 3D scanners cameras; physics measurements; rendering ; VFX graphics; content production; performance; staging; augmented & virtual realities; telepresence. Immersive gamification, situation awareness; simulation & training; holodeck playpen; command & control, scientific, medical, instrumentation, edutainment modules, etc. (helmets/ goggles not needed)
The participant moves in the HIVE world, interacting with the surrounding visuals. Maybe he/she will be wearing glasses like Google glass for situation awareness and communication with the HIVE (engine). Sure, kids will be excited with an Oculus Rift helmet under the Christmas tree to be immersed in VR play. The younger kids should probably wear a seatbelt to keep them in their chair. All need to stay seated or have guard rails while wearing a helmet immersed in the deep virtual Oculus worlds.
Troyer has been working for years to develop the right tools for a true immersive VR experience w/o glasses. Today sensors are keeping up with Moore’s law. Dimensional images are captured on Mars but not displayed with their captured clarity on earth. Kinect provides situation awareness w/o a lot of extra paraphernalia. Look at 3D in the home. Does the viewer want to wear glasses as he/she watches TV, peers at second screens (tablet or mobile) and talks to their kid? And then 3D glasses provide a limited field of view. You often have to peer from just the right angle for focused 3D images. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-nereo/facebook-oculus-rift-and-_b_5064886.html
Facebook purchased Oculus Rift for 2 billion. Microsoft is investing $150 million in another helmet company/ patents. Sony is working on theirs. Helmets have been a niche area for virtual reality for more than a decade. Much work has been done for military use.
We present MetatronZ as a simple immersive world solution (w/o glasses). We alert the progressive savvy technologists, the government and military, medical, and edutainment companies looking for another approach to VR that it is imperative for the participant to move freely in immersive worlds. The MetatronZ laser apparatus projector camera (sensor) makes possible new devices and venues and is the missing link for HIVE platforms.
MetatronZ laser projector/ patents are being infringed, so we have a set of issues to resolve. Companies that actually signed NDA and attended demonstrations of the MetatronZ Laser Projector are infringing. These companies are able to assemble laser projectors, mainly because the parts/ modules are mature (off the shelf—COTS). Brokers and NPE (non-practicing entities) are offering deals.
MetatronZ Vision is a new company formed for monetizing and licensing the patents. Astute technologists will immediately grasp the disruptiveness and importance of the MetatronZ technology. It is imperative that this project is now implemented. The patented MetatronZ is the linchpin for the convergence revolution bringing on the new digital ecosystem.
