Capabilities
DEEPspace
METIL has partnered with Virtualware and HTC VIVE to create the Digital Engineering & Experiential Prototyping Space (DEEPspace), an immersive laboratory that enables companies, government agencies, and researchers to collaborate using VR. DEEPspace is a combination of a large lab space along with Virtualware's VIROO enterprise XR platform and HTC VIVE's Mixed Reality streaming technologies. This has created a physical space that can be used to collaborate, simulate, and train using mixed and VR technologies. Users can collaborate in real time with persons and teams inside the room, as well as remote users who can join the sessions using their computers or extended reality devices.

3D Holographic Projection
As part of the partnership with Avalon Holographics, METIL has access to 3D holographic projection capabilities using the Novac table to display a stereoscopic image without the need for 3D glasses or head mounted display (HMD) technology. This will be a resource for conducting proof-of-concept evaluations for mission control, geological mapping, Team Awareness Kit (TAK), medical, industrial, architecture, game design use cases.
3D Scanning
As part of the SHELL, METIL has 3D scanning capabilities to perform high resolution scans of physical objects, including faces. These scans are capable of achieving fine detail that allows for realistic geometry. This enables the creation of medically accurate 3D assets to be used in a variety of ways, including anatomical virtual models and rapid creation of virtual patient avatars that match standardized patient actors. Additionally, METIL has a capability and workflow to take DICOM imagery and generate near real-time volumetric models in multiple formats (including mobile-ready).
3D Scanning: Photogrammetry
As part of the SHELL, METIL has 3D scanning capabilities using photography to capture the surface geometry as well as the textural detail of an object all at once. This enables the creation of medically accurate surface detail as well as geometry.
Motion Capture
As part of the SHELL, METIL has a motion capture setup that uses minimal studio space and does not require suits or markers. Using our implementation, we have reduced equipment and process costs by a factor of six.
As part of the SHELL, METIL has the ability to capture lip syncing animations without the need for markers or an expensive motion capture setup.
