Engineers are essentially problem solvers. At a project level, an engineer’s mindset is generally targeted toward creation or improvement. Informed by the need to instill creative and critical thinking; to either design new products, or bring about improvements in existing ones. Therefore, it is critical to engage them meaningfully in creative processes, such as designing a product.

As anyone who has tried a VR headset before can attest, the ability to accurately perceive spatial relationships in design cannot be replicated through traditional 2D media such as screens or paper. VR solutions also have the ability to iterate rapidly.

Let’s take a deepdive, on the essential role immersive technologies can play for your engineering firm.

Key Benefits:

Better coordination between engineering, design, and construction teams

Communication, communication, communication. If you can steamline coordination between teams, why wouldn’t you? From concept to creation, virtual reality aids in every step of the process.

From the design team to the contractors and owners, VR improves understanding and expectation of deliverables across the board, greatly enhancing both project coordination and the review process.

The visualisation will enhance stakeholder buy-in

Getting ahead of the game in using Virtual Reality is what all trailblazing companies strive for. The technology is here to stay and getting better by the minute.

Reap the benefits with ever changing customisable technology by impressing your clients and enhancing your brand awareness.

You may ask; when is the right time? It’s now.

VR allows for real-time adjustments in the design

Efficiency is the key to any successful project. Time saving technology can pay back in dividends when coordinating between teams and reacting to feedback from clients.

When you are walking around in the model, you will be able to identify potential issues before they snowball into big problems, saving you a lot of headache, time, and resources. Keep in mind, VR solutions will also help you better communicate all of the issues and fixes that need to be made. This will provide you with greater feedback, thus leading to overall higher quality of the design and, ultimately, the entire project as well.

Virtual Reality in Engineering

Enhancing Training in House and Higher Education 

The primary objective of including design-based projects in engineering courses is to help undergraduate students of computer engineering, electrical and mechanics become acquainted with, and apply theories of engineering design processes. Additionally, to encourage them to consider practical constraints when working on a project.

This traditional project style in helping students accomplish these objectives is not without shortcomings. For instance, it is often the case that the project becomes too ambitious, which prevents students from testing or implementing their hypothesis. By the same token, it is often over-simplified, taking some of the concepts back to the K-12 level. Consequently, they are unable to implement the design steps in entirety.

Leverage virtual reality to create immersive learning in every step of the process, conducting realistic problem solving exercises and experiencing an ambitious project from start to finish. Eliminate barriers so that learners can get the most out of their training. This pays dividends back to your business in a plethora of ways, especially in efficiency.

Augmented Reality in the Engineering Industry

Augmented reality is one of the most sought after services we provide for the engineering industry, as it provides the perfect mix of real world and virtual reality components.

Aiding in time management, scheduling, quality management, and data acquisition.

Augmented reality is a no brainer for most. Creating a semi-virtual reality where you can see the before and potential after of a project is essential to streamlining workflows.

Viewport designs custom applications to suit your business, slipping right into your workflow with ease.

Augmented reality is making its mark on the engineering industry and has even more potential to make an impact across various facets of engineering. It can generate concrete information about design, component parts, and machinery for significant time and expense savings. Also, AR can be applied to 3D designs showing various configurations to view the product as one would in real life.

Engineering Applications of Augmented Reality

Virtual Reality in the Engineering Industry

“Virtual reality can adapt to many use cases and better processes in your company, but what is the return on investment (ROI) of using VR? Many benefits are drawn from VR in engineering, like saving time and money at different stages of product development. But the gains are not just quantitative, they’re also qualitative, like improving process and product quality, fostering an innovative mindset and refining the worker’s skills.”

Product Types

Virtual & Augmented Reality Showrooms

A virtual reality showroom is a designed and customisable computer generated showcase that allows your products to be displayed virtually for buyers to engage and interact with.

Success in VR Showrooms

 

As industry leading innovators, Austin Engineering came to Viewport to develop a virtual reality space that would showcase their large equipment. The purpose was to use the technology at expositions to then convert interest to sales.

We ran the gamut in terms of VR platforms for this project- ranging from touchscreens, device based augmented reality, immersive virtual reality headsets, and HoloLens technology.

How did we show customisation while displaying huge equipment? We put the viewer in charge, creating a vital touchpoint in the customer journey. Our tactical solutions put Austin’s rock solid engineering tech on a next generation platform.  Coming to life as a multisensory experience, that materialises the products, placing them into the client’s hands.

This is not some futuristic science fiction concept, this is right now. The investment in a VR Showroom has limitless potential for your brand and product range.

Computer Generated Imagery Animations

CGI is the art of utilising computer software to create strikingly precise and beautiful imagery.

CGI Animations outline projects and portray an engineer’s vision with clarity. Demonstrating exactly what the construction team will deliver.

Adding animation to the process – allows concise communication of how major touchpoints should be handled.

Creating a direct path from concept to the finished product. Providing key stakeholders with confidence and amplifying your firm’s credibility.
