Vioso has debuted its Experience Designer, a cloud-based platform for AV professionals to design and simulate complex projection systems entirely in a browser.
The platform introduces the concept of a virtual site survey for projection installations, allowing designers to evaluate projector placement, brightness, lens behaviour, and potential occlusions before arriving on site.
The Experience Designer aims to form the first stage of a complete projection workflow, from design to simulation, to calibration and to playback.
While integrating with Vioso’s calibration and playback systems, the platform is deliberately open and vendor-neutral and can be integrated into existing workflows of AV planners, system integrators, creative agencies, and simulation environments.
Experience Designer enables full system simulation in advance, allowing designers to validate feasibility, optimise system design, and reduce uncertainty before equipment reaches a venue.
Real-time GPU rendering and physics-based photometric analysis allows users to evaluate the projection coverage and edge blending, brightness distribution and screen interaction, as well as pixel density, visual fidelity, occlusions and line-of-sight constraints.
By creating a physically accurate digital representation of the installation environment, Experience Designer allows AV teams to test and refine systems in advance.
Designers can import venue geometry, position projectors from manufacturer libraries, and simulate real-world optical behaviour such as lens characteristics, frustum geometry, and brightness falloff.
Experience Designer also aims to improve communication between technical teams, clients, and stakeholders, by replacing static drawings with interactive visualisation.
Projects can be shared via links, allowing stakeholders to explore system layouts, coverage, and visual outcomes directly in 3D.
The platform’s reporting engine allows for automated projector and system analysis, photometric validation and performance data, equipment specifications and layout documentation, as well as extended PDF report generation for proposals and approvals.
