What is Mixed Reality?
We use Mixed Reality to simplify complex tasks. This is achieved through an integrated system that imports and creates 3D geometry to project simple yet concise work instructions onto any contoured surface.
Unlike Augmented Reality which is a live video stream from a camera that is being augmented by Virtual Reality components added into the video, Mixed Reality goes one step further by enabling the user to view a real physical object and see Virtual Reality superimposed on it.
ProjectionWorks™ patented software was first developed by Delta Sigma Company in 2010 in collaboration with the United States Airforce Research Program. The goal was to provide a low-cost solution for delivering clear and specific optically projected work instructions onto an aircraft.
The result was a hardware/software solution that includes everything needed to display a significant amount of knowledge to assembly technicians for a large number of different types of assembly tasks. This knowledge is displayed at the exact place that it is needed, in an order that has been predetermined to be the optimal build-sequence. This type of instruction set is extremely beneficial to manufacturers of aircraft, rockets, satellites, missiles, bombs, ships, submarines, boats, heavy equipment, buses, or other types of large, relatively low production but complex, high-value systems.
Applications
-
Mechanical Assembly
- Simplify any mechanical assembly process into step-by-step instructions and verify whether user measurements meet specification.
-
Paint Masking
- Project unlimited paint schemes, increase precision, and reduce masking time for automotive, aerospace and ship building.
-
Wire Harness
- Eliminate wire harness rework due to human error by displaying tasks directly onto the harness board.

The award winning VXI Modular Instrumentation Platform (VMIP™) provides customers with a level of modularity for instruments that is unmatched in the industry. The VMIP™ makes a single VXIbus card slot three times more powerful than single device solutions. Each VMIP™ instrument can be mixed and matched with other VMIP™ devices for added flexibility
Highly scalable with unprecedented data transfer rates, the Hardware Isolation Platform is a dual-segment solution that combines cutting-edge security and adaptive capabilities to ensure guaranteed spacial isolation of critical data and optimize diverse workloads.
- Cross Domain Solution - Control comms and data transfer between domains of different classification levels with an FPGA hardware firewall.
- Data Isolation - Remote areas of memory create a data buffer between CPUs or virtual machines, securely storing frequently accessed data.
- Mixed Criticality - Integrate workloads with different criticalities on a single platform while prioritizing higher criticality tasks over lower ones.

ProjectionWorks
Delta Sigma Company began operations in January of 1990 in Hesperia, California. In July of 1997, we moved to Kennesaw, Georgia to be closer to the F-22 Raptor team. We have over 40 years worth of experience in-house for all kinds of specialized LO (low observables) testing. We have built everything from the antenna to the cal target, radar, data collection & processing software, RF section, pylon elevator, pylon, multi-axis target positioner, target, and motion controls for moving parts in/on the target.
In 2010, the first ProjectionWorks System was installed. We primarily focus on developing complex automated systems to replace manual aircraft manufacturing stations and eliminate bottlenecks in station cycle time. We understand machine vision, lasers, servos, precision motion control, and dozens of other technologies that can be applied to aircraft manufacturing. At DSC, we engineer all of our own designs and software and build all of our machines in-house from the ground up, resulting in a fully 100% custom automation solution for the customer.
