Internship: Game Engine Engineer

Barco

Barco designs technology that makes everyday life a little better. Seeing beyond the image, we develop sight, sound, and sharing solutions to help you work together, share insights, and wow audiences. Our focus is on three core markets: Enterprise (from meeting and control rooms to corporate spaces), Healthcare (from the radiology department to the operating room), and Entertainment (from movie theaters to live events and attractions). Our solutions make a visible impact, allowing people to enjoy compelling entertainment experiences; to foster knowledge sharing and smart decision-making in organizations and to help hospitals provide their patients with the best possible healthcare. Headquartered in Kortrijk (Belgium), Barco has a global team of 3,000+ employees, whose passion for technology is captured in +500 granted patents.

Within all core markets Barco sells displays and screens. In certain environments a high number of screens is present e.g. Control Rooms or Operating rooms. Barco has heavily invested in networking solutions delivering content to those screens.

Recent evolutions in the world of Virtual / Augmented Reality headsets enable to go beyond a traditional virtual reality context. The headsets can overlay virtual content onto the real world: applications can be freely positioned in the real space around the user wearing the headset. They have created the possibility to create an infinite number of virtual screens around the user wearing the headset.

The concept of “unlimited” virtual canvasses is a new concept and can, when applied properly, be a real game changer in the market: it could potentially eliminate the need for physical screens.

The Barco networking solutions mentioned above are the ideal facilitator to bring virtual content into the HMD’s (Head Mounted Devices), as they convert a native video signal (HDMI / DP / SDI / …) into a network stream, ready to be consumed by an HMD.
