Seymourpowell demos VR software for collaboratively designing cars

Описание: London studio Seymourpowell's virtual-reality tool for automotive design allows people in various locations around the world to work together in real time.

Debuted at last week's London Motor Show, the tool enables collaborators in different locations – whether international or elsewhere in the same building – to observe and participate in the design process as it happens.

Seymourpowell believes that by increasing efficiency and collaboration, the software "will help to shorten the time it takes to bring a new car from napkin sketch to showroom floor".

"What we needed was something that was specifically a design tool for 3D drawing and modelling," Seymourpowell's lead automative designer Richard Seale says in video made by the company.

"Because we're sketching at full-scale it means that we can evaluate the stance and proportion of the car live."

Using the software, collaborators are able to "dial in" to a project using either a virtual-reality (VR) headset or a tablet. If using a tablet, they can view an augmented-reality version of the work-in-progress on their screen, with the sketch overlaid onto an image of the room in front of them.
