Panoramic technologies in everyday applications

View the presentation [In French]

During the last ten years computer and optical sciences have evolved to open possibilities and create opportunities for new applications. Thanks to these technological advances today we can experience a new “Immersive” dimension.

With today’s panoramic imaging technologies we can digitalise and visualise in real-time a whole 360 degrees environment. Hosting a panoramic videoconference from your mobile phone, keeping an eye on every room of your house, preventing transportation accidents thanks to 360 degrees dynamic analysis, caring for your loved ones from distance and virtually immerging yourself inside the human body will soon all be panoramic imaging technology’s applications as common as today’s ultrasound, radar, telephone and many other technologies developed during the past 50 years.

A new 360 degrees technology invented and patented by Jean-Claude Artonne and developed by ImmerVision. Emeet the quality, flexibility and performance required by today’s rich multimedia applications and most rigorous security and aerospace applications. It is a combination of both hardware and software that run on today’s video camera and computer technology from the smallest pocket PC to the most powerful system. The hardware includes the new panomorph lenses with increasable resolution on specific areas combined with software based on advance imaging algorithms.

Former pilot in the French Air Force, Jean-Claude Artonne is a passionate technology visionary with a university background in science and technology. He originally developed AI and 3D imaging software.

After managing different sales teams, he created and sold a real estate company where he developed and applied digital technologies to display panoramic environments. Based on his patented optical, software inventions and his innovative marketing vision, he founded ImmerVision in 2000, which is today a leader in panoramic imaging.

Since 2005, he has been working on aeronautics and humanitarian projects.
