Virtual reality headsets are great for gaming but they have many other applications. ESI’s IC.IDO 11 is developed to allow manufacturing companies to integrate VR into every step of the engineering process. This is the first version of the software built to run on head-mounted displays, such as the HTC Vive Business edition.
The ability to use HMDs, such as the well-known HTC Vive Business Edition, empowers engineers to delve deeper into design exploration through immersive VR. They can enjoy a more natural experience, with realistic hand and arm motion, and continue to benefit from real-time and real-scale product interactions. Furthermore, they can use VR earlier in the development process as they are no longer constrained by the availability of centralized resources (VR CAVE or VR experts). Their HMD now provides direct access to a user-friendly desktop VR system at any time.
Engineers will be able to perform virtual reviews or products and collaborate with others in the same session using the same data. More info is available here.
