Virtual Reality Can Reduce Product Development Cycle Time by As Much As 30% or More

In today's global environment, virtual reality serves a variety of purposes to help next generation manufacturers become more competitive. From prototyping to product development to training, virtual reality is becoming a major part of many company's businesses functions. The definition of virtual reality sometimes varies depending on the application but, most would agree that virtual reality can be defined as the digitization of product designs in order to create "smart" replicas that interact in an animated environment offering the ability to plan, configure, and demonstrate new products, processes, and information. With the launch of the new 3D televisions, virtual reality is also grabbing the attention of consumers. However, there are many misconceptions regarding the differences between 2.5D, and true Interactive 3D. SiMT specializes in content development that can be used for all virtual applications and is one of only a handful of centers in the world that can offer true turnkey virtual reality capabilities in both content development and viewing technologies.

Virtual Reality is:

Virtual reality (VR) is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones.

Augmented Reality is:

Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or an indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or graphics. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one's current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.
