Liquid Galaxy in the Innovation Lab

The Liquid Galaxy is a 7 screen display that is connected to provide users an immersive panoramic experience. People can display 360 photos and videos more easily with the technology. 

To use the Liquid Galaxy, load your project or pick an already made project on the display tablet. Use the 3D mouse (like a high-tech joystick) to navigate through the 360 scenes. The keyboard and accompanying mouse can be used when on websites and need to click or type. 

The software running the display is a content management system by VisionPort. Click here to see their projects.
