Secta Immersive Enhances Trainings in Immersive Rooms with LH890UST Projectors

‘Together with GeoBox, our projectors were chosen as the best solution for Secta Immersive’, said Quaak. Compared to the previously used beamers, the scene quality is higher, and this impact how people in the immersive room can get the right idea of the environment they are supposed to be, and a better training experience. The company’s plan is to expand also to other areas, like education, university and schools, for immersive classrooms, and environments for children with special needs.

In the immersive room, trainings take a different shape. With virtual technology, it is possible to re-create different environments and simulations, like in-hospital situation, emergencies or hazardous scenario, in total safety. In the immersive rooms, teams and students have the possibility to learn how it is to manage a patient in a real-life scenario or driving an ambulance in trafficked roads, in vivid realistic simulations.

With a space between 16 and 25m2, Secta's immersive room is a fully interactive space where trainers and students plunge themselves completely, and where they can interact with every surface, and with smells, sounds, smoke, wind, and other sensory effects. With hundreds of pre-built scenarios – although it is possible to have them customised to specific needs – medical training's students can find themselves into emergency situations, which replicate the stressful and chaotic environments, in order to offer a real-to-life experience.

Thanks to its sharp realism, the immersive room brings the students into the event, thus forming and preparing medical trainees to the reality they will encounter in their career paths. For such a complex environment, a reliable projector is paramount, to get the best and most real medical training. One of the requirement for the projectors was to have a short throw ratio so that it could be mounted closer to the wall, thus diminishing the shadow effect. Moreover, the BenQ LH890UST has crisp view and sharper colours.

‘Our immersive rooms is an interactive place where we display scenes from 270 or 360 degree on all the four walls. Along with smoke, smell, scents, wind, and various temperature, they also feature 2.1 stereo and 5.1 audio surround, to create sounds from different sides of the room’, says Pim Speksnijder, manager at Secta Immersive.

‘From BenQ we had a great technical support through all the process, from the first contact to the final choice of the best projector for our requirements. Also, we had the possibility to test new products and find the one we needed’, adds Speksnijder. ‘With BenQ projectors we went through an easy installation process, and now our images are brighter and clearer. Also, compared to the models we used before, the LH890UST is quieter’.
