EB and RTT Present: Full Operating Functionality in the Virtual Prototype
|
The Company
Realtime Technology (RTT) AG is a worldwide leading supplier of 3D real-time visualization technologies and services for industrial applications in the automotive (e.g. Porsche), aerospace and consumer goods industries as well as in industrial design.
The Solution
For this, Porsche and EB have developed a functional extension of EB's HMI tool: a plug-in within EB GUIDE Studio. Now, a full user interface can be transferred from a real prototyping project into virtual reality where even interaction by touch screen or speech are possible.
The Challenge
Porsche was using RTT's high-end visualization software RTT DeltaGen and EB GUIDE Studio for modeling graphical user interfaces. As the user interface was often just a dummy prototype (e.g. static images), the objective was to experience a real HMI simulation within a virtual environment.
The Benefit
Different variants of HMI concepts can be brought to life instantaneously for various automotive models and brands installed in a virtual CAVE. This innovative solution solves today's inefficient processes and renders physical prototypes unnecessary.
