Leonar3do 3D. 3D Design in 3D Space… That’s a lot of 3D.

Look at the guy outside your window swatting a swarm of wasps away from his exposed skin areas. Now look at the guy in the cubicle next to you using Leonar3do 3D. Both look similar except one is screaming and swelling up while the other is smiling and creating 3D object… in 3D space.

You may have seen Leonar3do a few months back. But recently, we caught up with Dániel Rátai and Zoltan Karpati, a couple of the guys behind the VR tech, to find out a little more about their product and how they think it could impact 3D mechanical design.

3D Interface of the Future: A 400 lb Steel Sphere

3d-interface-steel-ball.jpgSo, I was in the sphere yesterday, right, and the boss says, “You’re 3d models are all mis-shappened, are you using this thing right?” He just doesn’t understand the stress of having to be in this thing for hours.

Ya gotta just love those virtual reality developers. They’re always thinking of the next way to make a virtual environment as authentic as possible. The VirtuSphere is one of my favorites. Just look at that honkin’ huge sphere of VR metallic-romp-about goodness. Forget that you have a few pounds of visualization equipment and padding strapped to you, you’re in a steel sphere man. That thing could tear from it’s rollers any second and wreck havoc through the office. Ahhh, the future.

What’s a little more interesting about this one is it’s relation to SolidWorks parent company, Dassault. VirtuSphere, Inc. is taking part in the V+R Challenge to help the Marseille Motion Science Institute obtain motion simulations of the foot.

You think VR has a place in CAD or in helping CAD development?
