VR CAD Model Viewer - Reel Pictures VR Diary Episode 4

This VR Diary video is an overview of our "VR CAD Model Viewer". This app allows you to view and interact with CAD data in Virtual Reality. The models sit on a virtual tabletop at user-specified scale. You can view these scale models from any angle and isolate specific areas. You can then physically walk through key areas of the model in a 1:1 real-world scale. Table of Contents for this video: 00:00 intro + overview of the 'demo state'. 01:09 Loading the "Museum of the Hoddle Grid" CAD Model 02:11 Interacting with the Model 03:10 Switching from Tabletop view to Real-World Scale 03:56 Future Plans 05:09 Conclusion In this video, this VR app is in its early stages. In our future videos we will show some of the progress we've been making as well as some other examples where it could be useful in rapid prototyping for products and in industrial design applications. The model featured in this video was Designed By Melbourne-based Architect Paul Evans. It is part of a submission to the Royal Society of Victoria by Paul Evans, Nigel Westbrook and Michael Wentworth-Bell. The teleporting and physics interactions are based on the fantastic tools Mitch McCaffrey has been sharing with the VR community.
