AdVis 2.0
Our latest interactive software version is AdVis 2.0. This latest version is faster and more accurate, with lots of new features meaning faster setup times and the ability to create advanced interactive installations of any size and shape on floors, walls, tables or any surface.
Features
Motion Detection Engine
Motion Detection Engine
We have rebuilt our motion detection engine from scratch to increase performance, accuracy and stability. We were one of the first on the market with interactive projection and AdVis 1.0, with the experience we have gained, and building on from our previous software versions, we have now developed a flawless motion detection engine suitable for all environments. Response time is improved with very little latency, an advanced configuration program means most of the setup is performed from the PC rather than having to focus lenses and adjust the tracking camera to match the projection area, you can crop the camera feed within AdVis creating perfect calibration between the camera and the projection every time. Lastly, and most importantly, AdVis 2.0 is a completely stable platform which can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and work perfectly for the entire duration.
Launcher
The AdVis 2.0 effect launcher has been completely redesigned with an easy to use interface that even users with the most basic computer skills can work with. From here, you can access the AdVis 2.0 configuration, launch effects straight away or test the effects using your mouse. You can build new effects with your own content, or edit existing effects. You can also build sequences for different effects to run for different durations.

Effects
We have a large variety of different effects with many different interactions and themes. With over 100 effects, there is something to suit all occasions, and if you still can't find something, then each effect can be completely customised with your own content. You can replace background images and videos, logos and sounds as well as configure the effect to react how you want. Every part of the effects are configurable.
Advanced Features
Multiple Displays
In AdVis 2.0, it is possible to use multiple projectors and tracking kits to create much large displays. You can use up to four tracking cameras and four projectors from one PC to create extra long or larger interactive setups. The display can be horizontally or vertically spanned, or setup 2x2 for huge displays.
Edge Blending
A new feature in AdVis 2.0 is edge blending and edge overlap. There are many solutions out there to create seamless displays by overlapping projector images and blending the edges, however, these features only appear on the most expensive projectors or can be created using very expensive hardware solutions. There are also software solutions out there, but again, they are expensive and they also cause a delay which is no good for interactive projection. We have now incorporated Edge Blending as standard for all of our effects, you can edge blend up to four projectors to create seamless displays, and what's more, there is no processing overhead in doing so, so the displays still run in realtime. For custom installations, we can edge blending an unlimited amount of projectors.
Networking
AdVis 2.0 has a built in networking function. Systems can be set as either a master or a slave, so when you have a large network of AdVis systems, you can set one as the master and the rest as slave. However you set up the master system, the slave systems will periodically log in and check for any updates, download any new content and start playing the new sequence. This is done in the background, so the systems still function as normal, and the audience won't see this happening, but be able to play with the new content as soon as it arrives. We also have a version of AdVis which can be set as master and run at a separate location so you can create new effects, change content and sequences, etc. from anywhere in the world. This version is free of charge to users of AdVis, so even with just 1 system, you can use this version to remotely update a live system.
SDK
Built into the AdVis 2.0 Full Pack Launcher is an SDK Player. With our SDK, you can create your own effect in whichever programming language you desire. Having the SDK player built into the Launcher, means you can run custom effects you have made with our SDK on any machine with the AdVis 2.0 Full Pack without having to purchase another SDK.
