Vision & Mission

Our vision is to monitor closely the changing role of IT from
Information Technology to Interconnect Talent.

Between the contrast of old days concept for the IT role
“collecting information” and age of Information overload
and nowadays

Nowadays, IT and Technology are perceived and seen as
enabler, driver of business with virtualization and open
sources since IT has become much easier to deploy new
products and services.
Vision & Mission

Believing that change favors the prepared mind and it is all about:

Executive Summary

The virtual reality power wall and CAVE which will be established by
Lootah IT Group will of course first and foremost provide access to
the construction and real estate segments of the company.
Furthermore, and once we have gotten a handle on the capabilities of
the technologies we will be able to branch out to other market
sectors, some of which are outside the scope of the Lootah Group.
These sectors include: Oil & Gas research and exploration, medical
research, academic research, air traffic control simulation.

With this project we have the support of the Franhofer Institute that
may bring their leading research into practice in the UAE, similar to
the model we have seen in Manchester (using an Orad cluster and
Mechdyne Power wall). We further know that both Orad and
Mechdyne are our partners for the long run, and will work with us on
developing plans for attracting these market sectors to our business
unit.
Executive Summary

        Our focal is to jointly work and utilize our partners technology
     capability to allow us to create custom visual systems for a wide
 variety of applications, configurations, and facility sizes. Utilizing the
spool of expertise in computer graphics and physics-based modeling
       to create high-fidelity visualization applications for science and
   engineering, providing our customers with high-performance, high

Market Aspects
                                                 2.1 Market Highlights
         The influence of digital media and information technology on
   architectural design education and practice is increasingly evident.
 The ever-advancing digital technologies are dramatically challenging
     fundamental assumptions, theories and practices of conventional
 design paradigm. The proliferation of computers and telecommuting
   in design education and practice has resulted in a major paradigm
  shift and a reorientation in theoretical and conceptual assumptions
         considered to be central to design education and practice. In
      contrast, architectural design discourse is still dominated by the
          prevailing conventional analogue paradigm which puts great
constraints on our understanding of recent developments in teaching
                                                 and practicing design.

The bulk of this industry is dominated and adopted by the US, Europe
                                                    and Asia regions.
Market Aspects

   Sequentially Cave and Power walls with their variations
form reconfigurable cave: “Flex” and portable power wall :
   “Rover” are dominating such a market from both giants
 and pioneers of this industry : Mechdyne for Visualization
and Orad for graphic image generating already taking 70%
                                      of the total market.


 Virtual Reality industry starting to be present in the MENA
and adopted in couple UAE universities like Al AIN Uni and
      some virtual studios in the broadcasting TV channels
                                                (MBC,BBC…)


Now the fact that construction and real estate are booming
   in the region, there is a very potential market for such
                                                  industry.

Solution

     Tackling the increasing demand for high-tech along with our vision to become a
pioneer in the provision of high standard which changes the life style and the Techno
 awareness within our societies. By expanding the market vertically and horizontally,
                           the solution was structured square the following principles:


                                          •Transferring true visualization Technology.

   •Creating end user awareness through aggressive marketing campaign using real

The proposed annual capacity of the project is based on 300 working days/year and 16
                                                             working hours per day.


 Inside the CAVE system, which is having a limited space of 3Mx3M, a maximum of 10
people can be present, but tracking of only one person 3 will be possible. That means,
   its optimum use is for a single user with all available interaction and full immersion.


    In the case of PowerWall, we can have 30 ore more people attending based on the
                                    space availability of the room in which it is setup.

Future Technology Center Project

  • 2. Vision & Mission Our vision is to monitor closely the changing role of IT from Information Technology to Interconnect Talent. Between the contrast of old days concept for the IT role “collecting information” and age of Information overload and nowadays Nowadays, IT and Technology are perceived and seen as enabler, driver of business with virtualization and open sources since IT has become much easier to deploy new products and services.
  • 3. Vision & Mission Believing that change favors the prepared mind and it is all about: • All project work • Projects build talented firms • Projects build our brand • Projects that matter • That can make a difference • That we can brag about forever • That transfer the enterprise • That can make all smile • That highlight the value added.
  • 4. Vision & Mission In the talent firm we think: • Solutions • Customers' benefit • Customers and customers' benefit • Customer delight • Best in class • Professional services in the future • Professional talent is the value Eng. Yahya Saeed Lootah
  • 5. Executive Summary The virtual reality power wall and CAVE which will be established by Lootah IT Group will of course first and foremost provide access to the construction and real estate segments of the company. Furthermore, and once we have gotten a handle on the capabilities of the technologies we will be able to branch out to other market sectors, some of which are outside the scope of the Lootah Group. These sectors include: Oil & Gas research and exploration, medical research, academic research, air traffic control simulation. With this project we have the support of the Franhofer Institute that may bring their leading research into practice in the UAE, similar to the model we have seen in Manchester (using an Orad cluster and Mechdyne Power wall). We further know that both Orad and Mechdyne are our partners for the long run, and will work with us on developing plans for attracting these market sectors to our business unit.
  • 6. Executive Summary Our focal is to jointly work and utilize our partners technology capability to allow us to create custom visual systems for a wide variety of applications, configurations, and facility sizes.

  • 18. Market Aspects 2.1 Market Highlights The influence of digital media and information technology on architectural design education and practice is increasingly evident. The ever-advancing digital technologies are dramatically challenging fundamental assumptions, theories and practices of conventional design paradigm. The proliferation of computers and telecommuting in design education and practice has resulted in a major paradigm shift and a reorientation in theoretical and conceptual assumptions considered to be central to design education and practice. In contrast, architectural design discourse is still dominated by the prevailing conventional analogue paradigm which puts great constraints on our understanding of recent developments in teaching and practicing design. The bulk of this industry is dominated and adopted by the US, Europe and Asia regions.
  • 19. Market Aspects Sequentially Cave and Power walls with their variations form reconfigurable cave: “Flex” and portable power wall : “Rover” are dominating such a market from both giants and pioneers of this industry : Mechdyne for Visualization and Orad for graphic image generating already taking 70% of the total market. Virtual Reality industry starting to be present in the MENA and adopted in couple UAE universities like Al AIN Uni and some virtual studios in the broadcasting TV channels (MBC,BBC…) Now the fact that construction and real estate are booming in the region, there is a very potential market for such industry.
