THE NEXT DIMENSION: Introducing a glasses-free 3D-view microscope 3
D technology is playing a crucial role in the manufacturing sector, serving both the development and the quality control stages of production. However, up until now, the full potential of three-dimensional technology has not been fully achieved. VR headsets, uncomfortable eyewear and inconsistent technology has led many to assume that 3D visuals are still a ‘gimmick’, and not ready to be applied as a working solution to many of the problems in the manufacturing industry. This is no longer the case. Vision Engineering have developed the Deep Reality Viewer (DRV-Z1), a high definition digital stereoscopic 3D-viewer with a zoom module. The digital technology used in this microscope enables the user to view HD 3D images, under magnification, without using a flat screen, nor requiring operators to adopt eyewear. The DRV-Z1 utilises special mirrors and
optical lenses, together with a unique image presentation technology. This delivers two independent, high definition images to the viewer, one for each eye, and this is what gives the viewer natural depth perception. The benefits of digital stereoscopic 3D view are extensive. The ability to view high quality 3D images with real depth perception will ensure more precise quality control, through quicker and more accurate identification of non-compliance issues, making it simple to identify such problems as poor soldering on printed circuit boards. Similarly, hand to eye co-ordination is greatly improved in applications where assembly or reworking is necessary. Launched in May 2019, Deep Reality Viewer creates a multitude of exciting new visualisation and collaboration opportunities, and creative ways in which the technology can be applied to different industries.
The next phase of the development of the DRV technology will be the introduction of the DRV-D1 model, a 3D digital viewer without the microscope module that accepts data inputs from stereo imaging software. This will enable users to view a digitally created image from a variety of sources in 3D stereo, and quickly understand the geometry they are viewing with the benefit of depth perception.
