CATIA V5 to VR: Enhance your CAD design process with no data conversion

Posted by Sandrine Lasserre on Jul 4, 2023 5:43:09 PM

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.

XR workspaces: Create the ideal environment for immersive experiences

Posted by Sandrine Lasserre on Jun 15, 2023 4:57:31 PM

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.

VR training: is it effective for professionals and what are the limits

Posted by Sandrine Lasserre on Dec 15, 2022 1:49:48 PM

What if learning could be different? Since the Covid-19 crisis, many industries have adopted virtual reality to train their workers. VR training replaces traditional in-person or online training with a fully-immersive experience. And it happened across many industries: construction, engineering, manufacturing, healthcare…

For many years now, our training methods have started to shift. Instead of a standardized knowledge aimed at a population, what if you could have training content tailored to what your employees need, with your own 3D data?

Starting an Engineering Career in AR and VR

Posted by Jillian Byler on Sep 29, 2021 2:29:54 PM

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are two innovative technologies that are in high demand today. In fact, a recent report notes that the AR and VR market is poised to grow to $140.1 billion by 2026, thanks to a high CAGR of 38.4%. As various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, shipbuilding, and education continue to find ways to creatively leverage said technologies, the market for professionals who understand how to develop them will become more competitive. It is important to remember that the VR technologies and strategies used for engineering differ from the one used in gaming. In gaming, developers are more focused on providing quality entertainment in a VR world. On the other hand, VR for engineering is set on delivering 3D models and visualization techniques to enhance the design process.

Pursuing an engineering career in AR and VR can provide you with job security and a stable income. However, breaking into the industry can be difficult, especially if you’re just starting out. Here, we’ll discuss how you can launch   your engineering career in this particular field.
