British Geological Survey’s new 3D visualization system 
When Christie first announced their Mirage S+4K projector, VR specialists Virtalis 
became an early adopter, recommending it to the British Geological Survey 
(BGS) as part of an integrated StereoWorks visualization system they provided 
early last year at their headquarters in Keyworth, Notts.
At the time, Virtalis’ technical director Andrew Connell commended the Christie 
Mirage S+4K projector as being “the first of its type in Europe”. So successful 
was this integration that Virtalis proposed an almost identical solution for the 
BGS at their large regional facility in Edinburgh, enabling geologists based  there to explore their geological data in full stereo 3D. This allowed them  
to upgrade from a computer-based visualization system to a full 3D immersive 
modeling environment. 
To accomplish this, Virtalis wrote a customized software package tailored for the 
 
BGS’ requirements – and again the Christie Mirage S+4K digital projector was 
equal to the VR specialists’ demands for high-grade active stereo, rear projected 
onto a 3.1m x 2.3m screen in 4:3 aspect ratio. Fitted with a 0.73:1 fixed lens,  
the Mirage S+4K is mounted on racking in the dedicated projection room.

							Christie’s 3D Immersive CAVE among Discovery World’s most  
popular new exhibits.
Christie designed and installed a custom, fully immersive Christie TotalVIEW
TM 
CAVE at the renowned Discovery World in Milwaukee at Pier Wisconsin, offering 
an interactive glimpse into the future to educate and entertain. Dubbed by 
Discovery World as Human Interactive Virtual Education (HIVE), the immersive 
3D environment allows visitors a “near-real” experience of life around them 
by placing them in the middle of virtual, three-dimensional worlds that are 
breathtakingly lifelike. The HIVE provides an interactive and educational  
3D walk-through of the museum’s latest and most innovative concepts.   Discovery World’s HIVE achieves incredible levels of realism with Christie’s Mirage 
Series projectors – the most installed 3D projection display technology in the 
world. EON Reality, a partner with Christie, provides the interactive visual  
content management software that enables sensory and real-time visual interaction. 
The HIVE features high-tech projection on three 8' by 10' walls and the floor, 
providing a unique, fully immersive visual experience. A set of active 3D \
glasses 
with motion-tracking technology completes the illusion, with the projected images 
shifting perspective in reaction to the person’s movements. Visitors will find 
themselves hovering above the water, walking through a small town in Portugal,  
or flying through the solar system, among nearly 30 experiences available.

							Christie Mirage series 
Let’s face it, there is much more to an advanced 
visualization display solution than just the 
display, but the image is what the results will 
be measured against and having world-class 
projection technology as part of the overall 
solution is a definite advantage. 
The Christie Mirage Series offers the broadest 
range of 3-chip 3D active stereo projection in 
either a single projector, or a multi-projector 
array.  The first purpose-built stereoscopic line 
of projectors, the series represents the most 
installed 3D projectors in the world. Brightness 
ranges from 3000 to 18,000 ANSI lumens for active 
stereoscopic images from a single projector. 
SXGA+, HD and the latest WUXGA models 
are designed specifically for use in a variety 
of 3D applications for all types of immersive 
environments including cubes or CAVE
TM-like* 
systems and curved or flat screen powerwalls.
With the highest reliability, high brightness 
capability, excellent color and brightness 
uniformity and control coupled with low 
maintenance, the Christie Mirage Series is  
the most installed 3D projectors in the world. Christie’s projectors feature with built-in 
geometric warping and edge-blending 
capabilities, and unique proprietary purpose-
built features to meet the demanding
