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.

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 a room where the lines between the virtual and the real is blurred. You just step inside this room with VR glasses on and walk around a new prototype before it’s even built! This is the reality of immersive rooms and VR CAVE. Both provide various industries with endless business applications from product design and prototyping to safety training and complex data analysis.

Many industries are adopting AR and VR technologies inside their processes. For most use cases, traditional handheld controllers are more than enough in product-design and production processes. But for some precise use cases, adding VR finger tracking and haptic feedbacks is a real game-changer.

Many companies have yet to rely on VR for their process: AEC companies are still using 2D plans, engineers and designers are still working with CAD software developed 20 years ago, companies are still making many physical prototypes to compromise between engineering and design… Those methods are still usable but they entail many constraints and costs.

Digital trust is becoming an increasingly important concept for most organizations. What does this concept cover? It is usually defined as the level of confidence in people, processes, and technology to build a secure digital world. Indeed, as companies embark on the digital transformation journey, they need to ensure that the tools being put in place are trustworthy.

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.

This article is the 2021 edition of a regular review the TechViz team carries out to help you navigate the market. There are indeed many types of XR headsets around: tethered, all-in-one, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality… This can sometimes be confusing, especially because every manufacturer uses its own terminology to boast the uniqueness of its technology.

In 2080, one third of the European population will be 65 or older. For smart factories through the path of the Industry 4.0, it means having a “good” workplace is not enough, and its design should anticipate the preservation of the operator’s wellbeing. Therefore, the working environment for modern manufacturing workplaces must allow for the best productivity and quality outputs, while offering a secure environment for the workers.
