Virti is founded by Dr. Alexander Young, a trauma and orthopedic surgeon. He is passionate about creating new IPs to enterprise learning solutions for healthcare and beyond.
A new VR Concept.20 release does not allow VR objects to pass through the floor and surfaces.
VR Concept has released an update enabling smoother interaction with virtual objects. So that the users can drop objects, put them on top of each other, roll them on the surface, and even hang them on hooks. This way the interaction with virtual objects has become even more realistic. This release also assists in ergonomics testing of a future project. The process becomes more visual that’s why it is easier to test the passage of objects through doorways in rooms, for example.
In addition, the new version of the VR Concept has new measurement options. So the user can quickly measure the diameter of the circle, as well as the width and height perpendicular.
With VR Concept.20 virtual reality tends to be more realistic!
