VR Challenges and Solutions

VR is a new technology that promises to be widely involved in improving many industries in the near future, and many companies are hoping to make more with it. Accelerating training, reducing cost and increasing profits are few of the great things VR is promising (a list of VR benefits in the business world can be found in the VR technology introduction article). The best way to make sure that this new technology reaches its maximum potential is by solving the barriers and challenges that prevent mass adoption of VR. By doing so, it will prevents users from becoming hyped up for nothing, and from being used in small pockets here and there. In this article, we will show you how SimLab Soft solves the 7 Main barriers for mass adoption of VR technologies in business.

Barrier

Have you ever seen an incredible VR experience and thought of creating one yourself for your own business? If you have been there, you will start to realize that creating these experiences is a very complex task that involves hiring a team of experts, or learning new new complex tools.

Solution

At SimLab Soft, we simplified the process of creating an interactive VR experience, we lowered the skill level needed, and packed it all in one single and easy to learn Software (SimLab Composer). By using SimLab Composer you should be able to create your first VR experience within minutes, and be able to master the tool in hours.

Barrier

What does utilizing a highly skilled team for long period of time mean? HUGE costs! The cost of creating an impressive VR experience can be really high, you need the right tools and specialities for that, which makes it out of reach for many companies.

Solution

While the cost of VR hardware is going down rapidly, it makes the dream of utilizing VR closer than ever. At SimLab Soft we focus on reducing the total cost for the remaining elements including, software, learning time, and production time. A permanent license of the easy to learn SimLab Composer VR costs $399. VR Viewers are free, so you do not need to pay your clients extra charges.

Barrier

So you decided to embrace the VR technology and start creating amazing VR experiences, just to find out that some of your clients don’t have an available VR hardware tools , while few might have them. This will let you question what kind of hardware they have, and what type of hardware support you can provide.

Solution

VR experiences created using SimLab Composer can be run using HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Mobile VR headset, or even on the Desktop for users with no VR hardware available. We are always updated with the newest VR hardware available in the market, so you do not need to worry about future changes. VR experiences created in SimLab Composer can be also exported as 3D PDF files ready to be emailed.

Solution

SimLab Composer supports reading a large set of industry standrad 3D file formats, including SketchUp, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor, Rhino, DWG and many more. SimLab Composer also supports mixing different file formats into one scene allowing you to create diverse VR experiences. In addition to direct import, SimLab Composer offers free 3D plugins for seamless integration with commonly used 3D CAD applications.

Barrier

How do you share created VR experiences? How do you keep a VR experience updated? These are some challenges users face when creating VR experiences.

Solution

VR experiences created in SimLab Composer can be stored as single VR package files. This makes it more practical for creators to email their VR experience or upload it on Dropbox. Also we developed a special distribution mechanism, SimLab Cloud Showroom. It makes it easier to share and update VR experiences, and it’s free to download.

Barrier

Security of 3D models, is a concern that comes naturally when sharing 3D models with others. Without security measures in place, private models can be easily stolen. 3D Models are important assets, and are of great value to design companies. So, what kind of access will be given to VR experience creators? and VR experience users?

Solution

SimLab Composer makes it easier for creators to develop VR experiences in house, or by a 3ʳᵈ party. With the large set of supported formats, you do not need to share native file formats with VR experience designers outside of your organization. For sharing VR experiences with outside users, we support a proprietary file format not shared and not available to the public to reduce the possibility of reverse engineering.

Barrier

Our minds are used to fast real work responses and changes in real life. Being inside a VR experience with low refresh rates, makes people feel uneasy about the situation and causes motion sickness.

Solution

SimLab Composer VR experiences are optimized to provide high quality graphics, and fast refresh rates to reduce motion sickness and make VR an even more enjoyable experience for the user .
