Use Case: Enhancing Immersive Design Reviews and Presentations with TechViz VR Solutions
For industries dealing with complex 3D data—such as automotive, aerospace, and architecture—effective design reviews and presentations are essential to ensure alignment and clarity among teams and stakeholders. Traditional design reviews often rely on physical prototypes or static 3D model presentations, which can limit interaction and make it challenging to convey intricate details. TechViz’s VR solutions offer an immersive environment where design reviews and presentations can be conducted interactively, providing participants with a deeper understanding of the design in a realistic, 1:1 scale.
TechViz enables immersive design reviews and presentations in virtual reality environments, such as VR headsets (HMDs), powerwalls, and immersive rooms. These VR setups allow teams and partners to visualize 3D models at full scale and in real-time, fostering collaborative, dynamic reviews that ensure design accuracy and enhance stakeholder understanding. By directly integrating with over 250 CAD applications, TechViz enables real-time visualization without the need for data conversion, making the review process seamless and efficient.
TechViz connects directly with leading CAD software (e.g., CATIA, Navisworks, PTC Creo, Solidworks), allowing users to visualize 3D models instantly in a VR environment. This real-time connection means any design changes made in the CAD software are immediately visible in VR, allowing for instant feedback and review.
With TechViz, multiple participants can join the VR review, whether they are co-located or remote. This interactive setup allows stakeholders, partners, and team members to engage in real-time discussions, fostering collaboration and enabling immediate input on design details.
TechViz provides a suite of features that enhance presentations :
Hide/Show Parts: Users can selectively display components of the model to explain specific design aspects.
Virtual Annotations: Sticky virtual flags and annotations can be placed on the model to highlight areas of concern or specific details, streamlining communication and documentation.
Clip Planes and Navigation: Users can set clip planes and easily navigate through the 3D model, facilitating detailed internal views and helping viewers understand complex structures.
Conduct a comprehensive design review in an immersive environment to verify accuracy, identify issues, and align all team members on design specifics.
The engineering team loads the 3D model in TechViz, displaying it on a powerwall or in an immersive room. Team members can interact with the model in real-time, hide and show parts, and use annotations to mark areas needing modification or further review. As adjustments are made in the CAD software, the updated model is instantly visible in VR.
Enhanced Accuracy: Real-time visualization ensures design errors are caught early, reducing costly revisions.
Improved Collaboration: Immersive reviews engage team members more effectively, enabling focused discussion and problem-solving.
Present a design to clients or stakeholders in a realistic, immersive environment that enhances their understanding of the project.
The team sets up a virtual presentation in a VR space, displaying the 3D model on a large-scale powerwall. With TechViz’s presentation tools, the presenter can hide irrelevant parts, add annotations, and use clip planes to focus on specific design elements that matter most to the client. The client can ask questions and request modifications, which are immediately implemented in CAD and visualized in VR.
Increased Client Engagement: Clients can experience the design as if it were complete, fostering a deeper connection to the project.
Clear Communication of Design Details: Presentation tools provide clarity, ensuring that clients fully understand complex design features.
Collaborate with remote design partners on modifications to a shared project, ensuring all participants are aligned on changes in real-time.
Using TechViz’s VR collaboration tools, remote partners join the immersive review session from different locations. They can interact with the 3D model, mark points of interest with annotations, and visualize any updates in real-time as they are made in the CAD software. This eliminates the need for iterative feedback cycles and allows for immediate design consensus.
Reduced Feedback Cycle: Remote partners can provide input instantly, reducing delays in design approvals and modifications.
Enhanced Design Consistency: Real-time interaction and instant updates ensure that all parties are working with the latest design version.
