Virtual Design Reviews in VRED Using Raytracing and Remote Collaboration
This session explores case studies and demonstrates the capabilities of real time remote collaboration, enabling participation from far-flung departments around the world, without requiring travel.
Design review sessions are an essential part of product development for everything from automotive to architecture to manufacturing. It is essential to bring together stakeholders and experts from all disciplines—including design, engineering, and manufacturing—early in the design process. Visualizing prototype designs in VRED software in real time has been invaluable in discovering potential issues and delivering better products on a faster cycle. We have developed a set of design review tools, implemented in Python inside VRED, to enable work sessions to be more effective and create a documentation trail for concrete decision making without resorting to as much physical prototype construction. Using raytracing, VRED can enable reliable review of design details, especially glass, mirrors, and metals.
