About this manual
This manual handles the VR Workroom system and will help you to install and use the VR Workroom.
Related documentation
For more information on the Barco iCon H600 see the delivered owners manual R5976821.
A Quick user guide is also delivered with the VR Workroom.
2.1 Introduction
VR Workroom Concept
Image 2-1
The VR Workroom allows multi source (mono and 3D) visualization in a Desktop integrated environment. A master/slave system and the network integration allows perfect
synchronization between the 2 displays.
Convention
The left side is chosen to be the left side from a viewer’s point of view i.e. when looking at the screen in a front configuration. The
left projector is thus on the left side.
LEFT RIGHT
Image 2-2
Convention
The left (or right) projector does not necessarily mean the left (or right) channel projector which displays the
left (or right) eye image.

4. System overview
4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
4.1 Principle
iCon Server
This is the internal Single Board Computer residing in the Barco iCon projector. The Barco iCon Server takes care of
(among other things) the desktop source management.
VR Workroom system principle
The VR Workroom uses 2 Barco iCon LCD projectors to display a desktop generated by the internal iCon Server of one of the
projectors. This projector is set as the Master and controls the other projector set as the Slave. In reality, the desktop image is
generated by the Master and projected by both projectors.
On this desktop, multiple source windows can be added and configured to set up a collaborative working environment. Passive
Stereoscopic projection is obtained by projecting the left eye image on one projector (here the Master ) and the right eye image
channel on the other projector (here the Slave). The interaction with the user is done by the Master i.e. the keyboard and the mouse
are connected to the master.
