Company Overview
Mersive Technologies develops display management software that brings unprecedented simplicity and affordability to large-scale, beyond-HD displays allowing visual collaboration to go mainstream. Mersive delivers this capability through its SOL software which automatically aligns multiple projectors into one seamless image of extraordinary quality and resolution without the expense of specialized hardware and services. Knowledge workers such as engineers, designers, scientists, and operators can now leverage large, high-resolution displays for daily team interaction.
Christopher Jaynes and Stephen Webb founded Mersive in 2006 as an offshoot of academic research started by Jaynes in 2000 and funded by DARPA, DHS, and NSF. Coming from advanced computer science backgrounds, Jaynes and Webb broke new technological ground solving various problems related to video surveillance, human-computer interaction, and display technologies. After six years of research and several patent approvals, they raised venture capital to form Mersive as the vehicle for commercializing their technology for easily and economically creating large, ultra high resolution displays.
Traditional methods of creating large-scale displays have been limited to very high-end applications because they involve the use of either: (a) an expensive, high resolution projector requiring a specific room dimension for its long throw distance or (b) multiple blended projectors needing laborious adjustments that sub-optimize image quality. Through auto-alignment technology, SOL software provides the best of both worlds creating optimal imagery and extraordinary resolution from standard projectors that can be used in common sized rooms.
For the first time, high-resolution displays are now being used in a wide range of corporate, academic, and government applications such as data / product visualization and command / control:
- Engineers visualize life-size CAD models to accelerate product development.
- Architects improve client interaction with large-scale, detailed drawings.
- Scientists display massive data sets on one screen for holistic analysis.
- Executives and officials view richer briefings that better inform decision-making.
- Operators exceed SLAs by monitoring more infrastructure in greater detail.
Mersive makes large-scale, beyond-HD display solutions, traditionally limited to capital-intensive fields, available to a broad audience by making them simple and inexpensive.
