Project Mode

Working in Project Mode starts with the Designer, our new tool for visual design and preparation of the calibration environment.

If VIOSO 6 did not start in Project mode, you can switch by clicking the button "Switch to Free Mode":

Switch to project mode

The project mode is a list of tasks that are processed successively. At the end, there is a calibration with export to the desired application and an automatic recalibration mechanism.

Overview of the steps

The list of steps is represented by buttons in the left part of the application window. This list differs slightly depending on whether you are working in 2D mode or 3D mode. This distinction is defined in the Designer.

Steps in 2D Mode	Steps in 3D Mode

Design

The hardware configuration of the system to be calibrated is created here: Projectors, projection screen and camera. Furthermore, the settings for using the calibration for third-party programmes, NVIDIA Desktop Hooking or integrated video playback are managed.

Calibrate

This step performs data acquisition with a camera or manual projector calibration.

Add 3D (only in 3D mode)

In this step, the camera position is determined so that a geometrically correct pre-distortion of the content takes place based on the screen geometry.

Edit

Now the overall picture is being customised: Fine-tuning of the geometry, additional warping, colour and glare settings as well as masks and black levels are edited here.

Export

This button exports the calibration to third-party programmes such as media servers, simulation applications, etc. Other configurations such as integrated video playback and NVIDIA Desktop Hooking offer an "Activate" button instead.

Recalibrate

This triggers the recalibration sequence. This includes the fully automatic data acquisition via the camera, the application of 3D and 2D transformations as well as all parameters from the edit step and an export or application as previously configured.
