Connect distributed teams in a collaborative VR session using HMDs

Immersive Collaboration Experience enables collaborative VR sessions using HMDs. Distributed and co-located teams can easily be connected for an immersive design review. The shared VR world allows to create a common understanding of a product design and makes design discussions much more efficient.
Based on Immersive Visual Experience, VR collaboration does not require to convert or prepare 3D data prior to conducting a collaborative review

Benefits

• VR co-reviews can be launched directly from 3DMessaging with any type of 3DEXPERIENCE 3D data and without the need to convert, optimize or specifically share the date beforehand. Participants can connect directly from their workplace without the need to visit a VR center or even travel to another site. Thus, virtual product design meetings can be done more often, with less preparation efforts and without the additional costs of travel

• Participants have full control over their own VR viewpoint. They will always have a correct stereoscopic perspective view onto the data. This allows much better judgement of a design compared to a shared session with participants following on a regular 2D screen. In addition, users can teleport to the exact position of another avatar to better understand design flaws

• 3D avatars and virtual laser pointers add an important layer of information to a parallel voice chat session. The use of gestures makes it much easier for participants to follow and understand a discussion

Highlights

• Connect distributed teams and reduce travel costs

• Allow multiple users to experience the same data in a shared VR world

• Launch a VR co-review from any CATIA app without any data preparation

• Communicate naturally with gestures represented by your avatar to enhance a parallel VoIP session

• Teleport to a participants exact position to see what she is talking about
