AEC Industries

Walk-throughs with 1:1 scale enable designers and building owners to better understand how a space will look, function and operate before any final construction takes place. Changing or removing features can be done in real-time according to the client’s wishes.

Designers

Design errors are revealed by a virtual model.

The plan can be tested virtually in good time before implementation.

Oil & Gas

Allows an easy integration of different engineering applications providing team workers with means of information exchange, aiming to reduce the barriers imposed by applications with limited or no collaboration support.

Municipalities

Stronger potential in eliciting participation

More vivid memory of the viewed content

Human interaction in decision-making process cannot be avoided

Engineers

Optimal product designs with minimal risk leading to faster time-to-market.

Increased trust and collaboration with clients.

Trade Shows

Demonstrations and Product Training: VR demos and tutorials are excellent ways to engage in a unique and interesting way. This also decreases costs for operations and maintenance together with ensuring the user’s safety.

Save Space and Money: Bring your entire product line and projects to the show with the little hassle and minimal space.

Education

CAVE as an educational technology has incredible potential to alter cognitive load in a way that promotes learning, but like other educational technology if it is insufficiently integrated into the curriculum, it can risk increasing extraneous and germane cognitive loads at the detriment of students’ abilities to process or problem solve tasks with higher intrinsic load.

AEC Industries

Each member throughout the supply chain can take a role in decision-making, contributing their expertise and helping to solve problems and to co-ordinate schedules and logistics.

Designers

The buyer, users and designers are able to perceive the plans as well as evaluate and also influence the desired functional properties of the end result at an early draft stage.

Oil & Gas

Collaborative CAVE system allows multiple users not only to interact with shared objects but also to communicate and coordinate their actions. Collaboration in this context can be defined as combination of communication, coordination and cooperation.

Municipalities

Important social impact on the residents

Resulting design shows the needs and wishes of the residents

Creates better relationship between the municipal governments and citizens

Engineers

Engineers can interact with models, visualize design implications, and collaborate closely to avoid rework.

Greater sustainability practices by detecting mistakes prior to physical prototypes.

Trade Shows

Brand Storytelling: For example, Valio’s VR tour of the production facilities where you cannot take people in to show around because of the hygiene and safety regulations.

Gamification: You can make things interesting with a little gamification and collect reliable feedback about your products or services.

Education

Visualization LAB brings together an interdisciplinary team of faculty, graduate students and undergraduates working in 3D computer vision and perception, object recognition, graphics, game science and education, distributed computing, databases and computer architecture, privacy and security, architecture, engineering and 3D modelling.

AEC Industries

Helps to reduce cost overruns and delays, increasing overall efficiency. Helps to reduce waste and rework.

3D models turn into an unparalleled VR experience and speeds design iterations through networked, interactive, and at-scale experiences.

Designers

Users adopt design solutions at once and take an active role as a leader in evaluating interactive & user-oriented design.

Oil & Gas

Collaborative engineering environment integrates VR techniques into a CAVE system where the execution of different sequences of engineering simulations are modelled as scientific workflows.

Municipalities

Residents respect highly being in urban planning decision-making process

Actual value in a project like this is determined not by the quality of resulting design, but by the quality of the public support for the outcome

Engineers

VR solutions allow the simulation of everything from assembly work cells to overall production flow, leading to fewer workplace injuries, greater safety percentages, and less downtime for broken equipment.

Trade Shows

Display Product in Action: Sometimes showing the product design is not enough, so you can use to show unique production machine while products are manufactured in a VR model.

VR for Training: You can demonstrate quick VR training for potential clients from your respective industry.

Education

Narrating simulations with age-appropriate language while the students are inside the CAVE as opposed to providing a handout which would require them to read information on the handout while simultaneously processing visual information projected in the CAVE.
