Description
2015 is the year in which virtual reality (VR) is finally ready for the masses. Google Cardboard was perfect for democratizing VR, while products like Samsung Gear VR have helped increase the quality for scenarios that require it. Importantly, both technologies are powered by mobile phones. This session will look at the steps to create web-based VR for design visualization using Autodesk, Inc.’s, View and Data API, and how you can extend this core implementation via native Android SDKs for both Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. We will also spend time looking at Augmented Reality technologies such as Magic Leap and Microsoft HoloLens to understand the implications for design and engineering.
