Auszug aus: dnpbackstage - THE REAR PROJECTION MAGAZINE (Spring 98):

Powerful projectors and optical rear projection screens have proved to be a very effective formula in the fast growing simulation market. Many dnp installers have already seen this window of opportunity and are launching new competitive simulation solutions. In this issue of dnp Backstage we have looked at this new market trend.

The virtual flight tower

The market for rear projection simulation solutions is definitely growing as we can see by inquiries from all over the world. Historically, the market has been dominated by front projection systems. But in modern simulations you need bright images in high-light environments - where operators can move around the installation without casting shadows on the screen. And this is where rear projection gets into the picture, says Achim Hannemann, General Manager of SCREEN.NT.

The innovative German AV Company has recently designed a new rear projection tower for simulation applications. In 1996 SCREEN.NT supplied their first simulation solution - a computer network simulation system for the Deutsche Bank. And in 1997, the company installed their first air control simulation for the air traffic control simulation solution for the air control simulation for the air traffic control centre in Washington D.C.
Achim Hannemannn explains:

Due to increase in air traffic and population there is a growing need for aviation security and traffic safety. One of the solutions is modern training and simulations facilities. By using large rear projection displays it is possible to create very realistic traffic control situations- even in high ambient light conditions. The special design of the SCREEN.NT tower allows you to create a simulation environment with a true 360° viewing angle by installing the towers in a circle.

SCREN.NT´s rear projection towers are based on Barco LCD or Hughes-JVC light valve projectors and dnp Wide Angle Screens. The towers are available in sizes from 67" - 200" in different colours, dimensions, brightness and resolution. SCREEN.NT towers are available as a fixed installation or as a mobile retrobox system. Towers for 3D simulation are under construction.

SCREEN.NT´s air traffic simulation solution was presented to the public at a fair in Washington. At Hughes aircraft stand, SCREEN.NT installed a realistic flight tower environment with computers and control consoles. The design of the two 120" tower displays creates a convincing illusion of windows.
