of 3D / VR
FORUM8 held "The 10th UC-win/Road Conference / The Inaugural VR-StudioTM Conference" at Tokyo Conference Center Shinagawa in May 20, 2009.
At this 10th time, the conference presented the latest information on development

"VR-StudioTM", which is expected as the succeeding tool of UC-win/Road
and is scheduled to be released in August. In addition to the main sessions
entitled "New Developments with VR-Studio" with emphasis on advanced
and unique cases of utilizing VR, there were technical sessions focusing
on "Driving Simulator" and "CAD & VR" respectively.
At the same time, we installed demo simulator with 6-axis motion in the
open space in front of the main hall, and many participants experienced
the latest VR technology. |

Article Published in World Highways Magazine - June 2009
Intelligent data handling and management technologies are helping boost
operating efficiency - Mike Woof reports...
Visualisation tools are essential for construction designers. Forum 8 is
offering its sophisticated UC-Win/Road software simulation package that
comes with an array of features including 3D animation. The program allows
the user to view the surrounding landscape; provide design and construction
consultation; allow the visual examination of alternative project options;
animation of vehicle movements; and driving simulation. Meanwhile UC-win/Road
is able to take data from different CAD and modelling software packages
using a variety of formats. This allows the development of 3D models of
large areas of the environment to be easily and quickly generated.
The package can be used for simulating vehicles on-road and offers support
for simulations such as external AP analysis results.
The company says the product can be used for playback of traffic micro
simulation, as well as recording and playback of the UC-win/Road package.
The 3D model animation follows Open XML format and the software offers
several type of 3D model animation. See...
