After much anticipation for the new era of Virtual Reality, year 2016 is
expected to be the first chapter in its widespread popularization. FORUM8
maximizes the scope of VR technology by providing IM&VR solutions to
promote BIM/CIM in construction, driving simulators for ADAS, and autonomous
vehicle research. It is my pleasure to host the Design Festival as an opportunity
to learn about and envision the most intelligent solutions for a more promising
future.

The 6th Virtual Design World Cup
-Cloud-based design competition for civil engineering and construction works with BIM/CIM and VR! -
Theme2016
"Extension of the central city Melbourne"
- Ideas for urban design in Fishermans Bend Urban Renewal
Area -
This is an international design competition for students to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ). The script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster" (A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment". We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your masterpiece. We encourage students from different departments majoring in different field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to demonstrate that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline.
