…technology used by VR commercial systems, such as one HTC Vive Tracker and two or more base stations by Valve,” said Nubiola, CEO of RoboDK. RoboDK weighs accuracy versus price The main challenge with industrial-grade measurement systems is their restrictive price tag. While their accuracy can be up to 0.1 mm (0.003 in.), such systems typically require extensive knowledge and experience only available from specific vendors. “This probe is suitable for applications that don’t require accuracy,” Nubiola said in reference to the TwinTrack. It can achieve an accuracy of 5 mm (0.19 in.), which the company is suitable for many…

…Omniverse use to more headsets from manufacturers such as HTC VIVE, Magic Leap, and Varjo. Users of SideFX Houdini can also now load Houdini Digital Assets directly into the Omniverse viewport, making Houdini-based connected workflows more seamless, said NVIDIA. The Cesium for Omniverse extension enables 3D Tiles, an open standard for streaming massive geospatial datasets in virtual worlds, including those supported by OpenUSD. NVIDIA also said that CGI.Backgrounds now has several ultra-high-definition HDRi maps available in USD Composer. The Cadence DataCenter Design Software, now available via Omniverse, helps users see computational fluid dynamics simulations in the complete context of their…

…AMD Radeon Pro WX7130, a Wi-Fi router, and the HTC Vive professional VR headset. When used in conjunction with a CAD or simulation product and the use of Vive Focus and AMD Relive software, it becomes possible to take a VR experience off-site. “With no tether, the user can roam the distance of the router signal, and experience the design in full clarity at full scale. No backpack, no tether, no desktop computer,” says Ramirez. “This is a revolutionary workflow, using VR in design and not just for review. Now add pervasive simulation driven by GPUs,” Ramirez says, and it…

…Age of Immersive,” Vinay Narayan, VP of Platform Strategy, HTC, discussed the role of eye tracking in firefighting simulation. “With eye tracking, we can finally understand what the firefighters are looking at. You combine that with heart rate sensors, and you can correlate what they're reacting to, what they overlook. Tunnel vision is actually one of the biggest causes of injury among firefighters,” he noted. The firefighting simulation apps from Flaim Systems, based in Victoria, Australia, incorporates Vive and other VR headsets. The company offers two products: Flaim Trainer, which simulates professional firefighter scenarios; and Flaim Extinguisher, which simulates domestic…
