Virtual Reality (VR) Headset

We’re excited to highlight a big announcement from one of our partners, Dreamscape Immersive. These talented virtual reality (VR) creators are changing the game, again! 

Leaders in Virtual Reality

Dreamscape Immersive is the innovative team of developers and creators that pioneered virtual reality (VR) for consumer entertainment in the coolest way! If you have never heard of Dreamscape, check out their site. They create unique experiences you will never forget!

Learning through VR

Dreamscape recently announced that it is launching a new education platform called Dreamscape Learn, incorporating virtual reality (VR) into college courses and government defense programs. This is a game changer in the world of education and training!

VR in the University

The first Dreamscape Learn collaboration is underway at Arizona State University (ASU). And you may be surprised like we were to discover that ASU has been ranked The Most Innovative School in America. No wonder they are the first college to feature VR in the classroom! 

The first VR college course at ASU will be Intro to Biology, set to launch in 2021. Imagine your college Biology lessons through a VR headset! 

Dreamscape Learn will help make complex concepts in science and technology easier to understand. Students will explore a fully immersive intergalactic Alien Zoo to learn about biology. The other-worldly creatures were designed by Dreamscape for the Alien Zoo experience. (And that is just one of the unique worlds created by Dreamscape!) Check out more details at the ASU site

VR in Government Programs

And it’s not only colleges that will benefit from VR technology. The U.S. defense and intelligence department has awarded a contract to Dreamscape Learn to improve training programs. We love sharing how advances in tech influence our lives! 

Visit Dreamscape

Add Dreamscape to your list of must-sees when you visit Los Angeles, California; Dallas, Texas; or Columbus, Ohio. It is truly a unique experience that will activate all of your senses. And if your dream vacation includes a trip to Dubai, you could visit the Dreamscape location at the Mall of the Emirates. Give them a follow on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter!

 

 

Ascend Loves VR! 

We love Dreamscape and can’t wait to book another adventure soon!

The geniuses at Dreamscape have been dazzling Ascend since we became partners during the launch of the first location in L.A. We provide provide technical support, maintenance, and commissioning for Dreamscape’s proprietary systems at all locations. We even made the long journey from the States to the UAE in December 2019 for the Dubai opening. It was an unforgettable experience!

    Burns McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

    Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room

    Our friends at Burns McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to physically preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.

    Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR

    Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short in terms of real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall does allow for everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.

    Proud Partnership with Burns McDonnell

    We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.

    Collaboration with Igloo Vision

    In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, Ascend took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.

    A Global First – 360 LED video Wall Room

    We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.

    Easy Streaming and Control

    The system allows the Burns McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.

    A Team Effort

    This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire Ascend team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.
