TechViz - Blog - AR / VR for engineering

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the need for seamless remote collaboration has never been more crucial, especially for professionals in industries like manufacturing, architecture, and design. Recognizing this demand, TechViz is thrilled to announce that our groundbreaking XR Collaboration service in Japan is now live in Japan, operated by NTT Communications / Docomo Business. This revolutionary service marks a significant leap forward in virtual collaboration, offering professionals unparalleled efficiency, productivity, and ROI.

Enhancing Efficiency and Productivity

Traditional web conferencing tools have long been the go-to solution for remote collaboration. However, they often fall short when it comes to conveying complex 3D models effectively. TechViz's XR Collaboration service changes the game by enabling hosts to seamlessly share 3D CAD or BIM models with up to five remote participants, all in real-time and rendered in the Cloud.

This immersive experience not only enhances engagement but also allows participants to navigate freely within the virtual scene, gaining a deeper understanding of the project at hand. By eliminating the need for lengthy explanations and reducing misinterpretations, professionals can make faster, more informed decisions, ultimately saving valuable time and resources.

Optimizing User Experience

In addition to its robust functionality, TechViz's XR Collaboration service prioritizes user experience, ensuring a seamless and intuitive interface akin to popular platforms like Teams or Webex.
The service's specific scheduling portal offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy for professionals to book meetings, manage invitations, and access rendering instances on the Cloud—all within a familiar and intuitive environment. By prioritizing ease of use and accessibility, TechViz ensures that professionals can leverage the full capabilities of the XR Collaboration service without the need for extensive training or technical expertise. With a focus on user-centric design, TechViz empowers industry professionals to embrace virtual collaboration effortlessly, enhancing productivity and collaboration across teams and projects.

Maximizing ROI

One of the most significant benefits of TechViz's XR Collaboration service lies in its ability to maximize ROI for professionals in various industries. By streamlining communication and collaboration processes, teams can accelerate project timelines and bring products to market faster. With TechViz's advanced technology, modifications made on the 3D model are rendered instantly, facilitating real-time feedback and iteration.

Additionally, the service's remote rendering solution leverages Cloud servers to ensure smooth streaming of immersive content to every participant, regardless of their location or device. This accessibility not only enhances collaboration but also reduces the need for costly travel and physical prototyping, resulting in substantial cost savings for businesses.

A Game-Changer for Industry Professionals

TechViz's XR Collaboration service represents a significant innovation for professionals in industries such as manufacturing, architecture, and design. By providing a platform for immersive virtual collaboration, TechViz empowers teams to overcome geographical barriers, streamline workflows, and unlock new levels of creativity.

Whether it's visualizing complex 3D models, conducting design reviews, or collaborating on prototypes, TechViz's immersive web conferencing service revolutionizes the way professionals work together.

Looking Ahead

As TechViz continues to expand its presence in the global market, the possibilities for virtual collaboration are endless.

While the XR Collaboration service is currently exclusive to Japan, TechViz aims to replicate this innovative concept in other markets in the near future. By staying at the forefront of technological advancements and catering to the evolving needs of industry professionals, TechViz remains committed to driving innovation and transforming the way we collaborate in the digital age.

In conclusion, TechViz's immersive web conferencing service represents a game-changer for industry professionals, offering unparalleled efficiency, productivity, and ROI. As businesses embrace the power of virtual collaboration, TechViz stands ready to support their journey towards success.

Professional-grade XR for various use cases

Looking for a way to enhance your design/engineering/manufacturing process when working with CATIA V5 models? A great solution lies in 1:1 scale visualization with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). These immersive technologies close the gap between the 2D screen of your CAD application and the physical world, and allow industries to exploit the power of digital prototyping as a competitive advantage.

And it gets even better when no 3D data is translated from your native CATIA V5 application to the VR environment.

You want your teams to use augmented reality or virtual reality in their daily work? Immersing yourself in a VR environment to work collaboratively on the same 3D CAD model offers many advantages to professionals. But unless you create the proper VR space, the immersive magic of using AR glasses, a VR headset or a VR CAVE will be lost.

No one wants to trip on a misplaced cable while walking around your future building, or hit a LED display while turning a 3D model upside down.

At its WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple finally unveiled Apple Vision Pro, its long-awaited mixed reality headset. Even if most of the features had already been leaked to the press, the moment is still dramatic.

If you are considering implementing a virtual reality (VR) system for your business, you're in good company. The use of VR in business settings is on the rise, and for good reason. VR can enhance training and education, facilitate collaboration, and design, and even improve customer engagement.

With higher levels of brightness, contrast, and color accuracy than other display technologies, VR LED walls are the superhero of immersive virtual reality experiences. With their high-resolution displays and flexibility in size and shape, they provide a more realistic and engaging environment than other display solutions like VR headsets. From design and prototyping to manufacturing and assembly, LED walls are the perfect tool for bringing your virtual and augmented-reality vision to life.

Some companies spend countless hours building prototypes in real life and conducting tests on physical products. CAD software like SolidWorks have helped many engineers and designers by enabling them to work with 3D models. What if you could go even further with virtual reality?

Imagine being able to step into a virtual world from anywhere, using any device. No bulky VR headset, no expensive equipment - just pure, immersive virtual reality at your fingertips. That's the promise of Cloud XR, a cutting-edge technology that's revolutionizing the way we think about VR. With the power of the cloud and the speed of 5G networks, the future of virtual reality has never looked brighter
