This robotic model is interactive and uses two cameras and color coding to help the user grip the box. You can try it by clicking here. |
Virtual Reality at CETL - Capabilities |
At CETL we use 3DVia Virtools for Virtual Reality applications. Virtools is a scripting application and has very limited modeling capabilities. Consequently, your 3D solid models can be used to create virtual environments. The first three examples here all use SolidWorks created geometry. The last example, although the most complex from a scripting point of view, uses simple geometry that was created in Virtools. |

Although this application is solely an animation, user interactivity could easily be added. The geometry used for this virtual application was intended for 3D printing, so there are some unexpected interferences and misalignments. Don't let that affect the experience, though, and enjoy the simulated particle movement created using two internal particle generators. Follow this link. |
| This is an interactive example showing the ability to apply texture maps (walls, ceiling and floor, as well as the image shown on the back wall when the door is opened), respond to user input and utilize sound. To get the door to open, use the code 1, 2, 3, 4 entered using the number keys along the top of your keypad. |  |

| This example shows interactivity and the computational abilities of Virtools. The user controls the starting position and physical characteristics of the ball. These parameters affect the bounce characteristics. Two camera views are available, and the small green square in the lower right presents the instantaneous positional coordinates of the ball.
