RTR has created a paradigm shift in the world of immersive steerable graphics solutions. Projects which would take months to create in CGI are now completed in a matter of hours. Part of our intellectual property strategy is holding back on patenting and publicising of our newest technology in order to maintain our market lead.

Two of the technologies which were developed by the team, deserve particular mention.

The first is called iflex™ and is an optics software technology. A video camera is driven through an environment say along a road. The pictures can be controlled by the user to give views from positions where the camera never visited. For example if the picture was taken from the centre of a road then the user controlled picture could be from one side or the other side of the road or even above. Ultimately, this technology allows a consumer to steer a virtual racing car, a soldier to simulate driving a tank down a road thousands of miles away, or a robot to quickly form a 3D video environment of a contaminated area.

The second technology called vfit™ is a set of mathematical algorithms. The invention centres around fitting virtual objects to fit and be mixed with real objects in simulations. This allows a virtual racing car to fit in race situations where there is no room such as in between a real car and the wall of a racing track.
