## Description
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) British Geological Survey (BGS) has used projection based 3 Dimensional active stereographic displays for 20 years. UKRI now wish to update their existing 4K rear projection system (4.6mx2.4m) to a LED system. The immersive 3-Dimensional Visualisation Facility (i3DVF) is a multi-use resource, although around 75% of use is with GeoVisionary geoscientific visualisation software, with 3D geological modelling making up the other 25%. The i3DVF is a flexible working environment, which can accommodate small groups of scientists working at desks, or presentations to groups of more than 20. 
1.	Key features and capabilities
The system must have a primary display of seamlessly tiled LED panels with a pixel size of less than 1.5mm
The system must be capable of displaying compatible software applications in active 3D stereoscopic mode.
The system requires an immersive Virtual Reality motion tracking system that operates seamlessly with our main 3D VR software, GeoVisionary
For stereo applications, the system will use quad buffered sequential stereo with active glasses, 120Hz refresh rate
The system will be straightforward to use, requiring very little training for users with basic computer knowledge.
The system must have a central controller for screen operation, switching and management, including room lighting options, sound options and changing PC source.
The main 3D-capable PC will be controllable by wireless keyboard, mouse and SpaceMouse, as well as the tracking system controllers (when using motion tracked VR applications). 
Suggested specification for a PC: 256GB RAM 10TB SSD storage, high end processor with the latest NVIDIA graphics card technology.
The system should have easily managed brightness controls, with no loss of colour fidelity at lower brightness settings (≥30%)
A system with low power usage, high brightness and low noise is essential.
The system needs a high-fidelity display for image analysis and close up working - assessment will be based on screen resolution, pixel pitch, brightness and refresh rate
It will allow other computers to be connected and displayed as PiP on the main display, also with 3D stereographic capability, or as independent sources
The system must be capable of running mixed 2D and 3D applications on the same screen.
A high-quality sound system is required that can be used for VR demonstrations as well as for videoconferencing. 
The system should allow for HMD(Head Mounted Display) connection for collaborative working (user on HMD collaborating with users on main screen)
30 rechargeable wireless active stereo shutter glasses with a charging station must be provided
It would be advantageous if trade-in was available for our existing Christie Boxer 304K projectors. There are two - one with 6000 hours of use (faulty shutter and one faulty lamp rail) and one with around 500 hours (fully functioning)
2.	Operational Requirements
The system will be capable of running with minimal downtim...
