IQ-Stations: Advances in State-of-the-Art Low Cost Immersive Displays for Research and Development
Article No.: 63, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
This paper discusses recent advances in IQ-Stations, which are one wall inexpensive immersive displays. A number of these displays have been deployed in academia, industry, and national laboratories. This paper covers recent advances in technology, use cases, and new portable options. The use cases discussed cover various opportunities for IQ-Stations in STEM education outreach, development, and production use.
