Immersive Visualization

Reality View™ — WHEN LESS MEANS MORE

CAE-Net’s Reality View Immersive Visualization System and Design Collaboration Tool Means Less Time, Travel and Scheduling, with More Productivity, Flexibility and Interactivity

Ever been invited to attend an immersive visualization presentation? If so, you know that it usually requires a cave-like room, a cumbersome screen and projection device, precise chair positioning for optimal viewing and a lot of behind-the-scenes activity to coordinate attendance, travel schedules - and maybe even hotel reservations. That can be expensive, particularly in today’s environment of tight budgets and strong competition.

CAE-Net’s Reality View can change all that.

The Reality View immersive visualization system eliminates the need for a dedicated “cave”, burdensome equipment or participant travel. Design collaboration is as close as your nearest PC, and requires only a web browser, a “URL” and password capability.

Reality View is conveniently packaged on a rolling cart that can be easily moved from room to room. It projects its images on any wall surface – with complete 3-D stereo visibility from any angle. No special “cave”. No special seating. And people in branch offices and other locations can participate in a regular 2-D session simply by turning to the Internet.

Reality View represents the combination of several technologies, and was originally created by CAE-Net to meet industry demands for integration of design applications to create a heterogeneous CAD environment for product development and design collaboration. The Department of Defense is now using and taking advantage of Reality View and CAE-Net is now making it commercially available with unique features and benefits.

Designed to Save Time, Money and Travel

  1. Immersive Visualization
    • Permits on-site viewing of product designs in 3-D stereo
    • Uses any wall surface for on-site viewing
    • Allows web browser based design reviews for off-site participants
    • Provides singe-person perspective for all participants

  2. The Perfect Collaboration Tool
    • Eliminates travel time and expenses associated with design reviews
    • Significantly reduces scheduling conflicts
    • Streamlines the design process
    • Improves overall time to market

  3. A Mobile, Portable Unit
    • Removes need for dedicated space and equipment
    • Easy to move to any meeting location within the company
    • Eliminates concerns about time-consuming assembly and disassembly

  4. Multiple Application Compatibilities
    • Uses all 3-D Stereo CAE/CAD/CAM application software
    • Supports AutoCAD, CATIA, IDEAS, PRO/E, Microstation, Solidworks, Unigraphics and other packages with no loss of data from time-consuming translations
    • Permits support and viewing of multiple applications simultaneously

  5. A Cost-Effective Design and Visualization System
    • Eliminates most travel costs for design reviews
    • Facilitates design interactions before creation of costly prototypes
    • Reduces necessity and costs of any stationary “reality” center
    • Reduces “time-to-market” by allowing multiple designers to collaborate on a project simultaneously

Doing More With Less

If “a picture is worth a thousand words,” Reality View is worth a full volume - and its on-the-job usage tells a powerful story. For example, a manufacturer with operations spread over 20 international locations could have Reality View on 20 “read-only” thin clients on the production floor of these facilities. These thin clients are all linked to a thick client (”read-write”) at its headquarters-based design center. When design questions or issues arise, communication with designers is quick, easy, and inexpensive. The results? Faster time-to-market, significantly less production time loss, increased productivity, collaboration without troublesome travel – and sharp decreases in costly production mistakes!

Interested in getting more productivity, wider collaboration, easier design reviews and greater results in your CAD/CAE/CAM environment? Just call (317) 846-6330 to schedule your demo of Reality View. You’ll be amazed to find how much more you can get from less travel, less time and less cost.
