Montreal, May 28th, 2024
Imagine 4D is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the testing of an interactive Digital Twin Application for In-Service Support with the Department of National Defence – Directorate General for Maritime Equipment and Program Management (DGMEPM).
Focussed on the HALIFAX-class frigate, the application leverages the Imagine 4D Digital Twin Framework – an integrated and secure software suite that allows you to create, connect, manage and visualize interactive Digital Twin Applications. The Imagine 4D In-Service Support Application combines the 3D environment with engineering and enterprise data (DRMIS) in an interactive single-pane-of-glass, improving data-visibility and decision-making for Defect Resolution and Engineering Change Management – and thereby optimizing operations.
The Application will be on display during CANSEC at the EY Centre in Ottawa on 29-30 May, 2024 (visit Simthetiq booth #1526).

In collaboration with Montoni, an immersive dome to help speed decision-making.
LAVAL, October 13, 2021 – MONTONI and Imagine 4D are proud to announce the launch of Station IXTM – Real Estate, a multimmersiveTM technology tool (high-performance immersion requiring no headsets or other peripherals) supported by Investissement Québec. This application of Station IX for the real estate market is a world premiere.
“This announcement strengthens Québec’s reputation for bringing innovative technology projects to fruition. Our government is actively involved everywhere in Québec supporting initiatives such as this one by Imagine 4D and Montoni Group. This is the type of project that enables Québec businesses to bring prosperity to their region and our economy to flourish.” – Lucie Lecours, Deputy Minister for the Economy
Station IX is designed to speed the decision-making process for prospective property owners and tenants by enabling them to experience their future space before they have to commit to buy or rent. The hyper-realistic 3D experience, powered by SmartPixel, brings the developer’s projects to life and takes place in a theatre-like setting under a huge dome.
“The development of this immersive 3D visualization tool designed for the real estate sector is a world first, and I am proud that Québec paved the way for such a leading-edge technological solution. The partnership between Imagine 4D and Montoni Group represents a unique opportunity to showcase Québec expertise internationally.” – Christopher Skeete, Member for Sainte-Rose, Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier for Relations with English-Speaking Quebecers, and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister Responsible for the Fight Against Racism
MultimmersionTM technology powering Station IX
Station IX’s multimmersive technology takes advantage of the human brain’s ability to decode depth of field. It uses curved mirrors to project an image on a 280-degree curved screen, which creates a realistic illusion of depth perfectly adapted to our eyes. There is no need for users to wear a headset, goggles or other type of peripheral. Station IX is already in use in the defence and nuclear-energy sectors. Its application to the real estate industry allows users to be teleported into a future environment.
Users can visit, alone or with others, an as-yet-unbuilt project, experiencing the views they would have from the various rooms of the building and the sunlight at different times of day, and walking through and around both the interior and exterior as they explore their surroundings.
“The Station IX experience showcases real estate assets and provides the perfect setting in which to choose a future living environment. MONTONI has shown vision by being the first developer to adopt our technology. Station IX at MONTONI is now our project of record when it comes to promoting our solutions internationally.” – Christian Bassila, Co-founder and President, Imagine 4D
“Innovation is an ambition that is supported by my team and is leading to multiple initiatives with direct impact on the quality of our service and our real estate projects. Our partnership with Imagine 4D is the outcome of the vision we continue to cultivate: to build a sustainable heritage based on leading-edge expertise.” – Dario Montoni, President, MONTONI
