Mountains - real, treeless, snow-covered mountains - feel like strange worlds visualized by a 3D configurator. The air is thinner, the water boils faster. The wind chases away all signs of life from steep rock faces and algae turn into snow in a strange, bloody pink. The natural forces that act at this altitude, [...]
Google announces the full release of Expeditions AR and updates to its Expeditions app (do not confuse with a 3D configurator). In a continuing vote of confidence in VR & AR technology as an influential classroom tool, Google today made its limited Google Expeditions AR Tours [...]
ClassVR is a complete virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) system for the classroom. It offers an appealing immersive experience for students of all ages and allows you to visualize different topics in an uncomplicated and easy to understand way as good as a 3D configurator. [...]
360-degree photography (for example for 3D configurators), also known as virtual reality (VR) photography, has had a huge impact on the digital landscape in recent years and was one of the biggest innovations of 2016. It also influenced the way we create and consume media content. Numerous [...]
The Virtual Reality (VR) era is fast approaching. When successful technology companies make money available for VR development, this usually goes hand in hand with an improvement in the VR experiences of customers like a 3D configurator. Specialists claim that VR will gain more importance over time than e.g. the whole topic of mobile. [...]
Right now you are probably reading this article on your smartphone or playing VR wirelessly over a 4G internet connection (sufficient for good WebGL 3D configurators). HTC has just announced that the 5G Mobile Smart Hub will be released in the second quarter of 2019. The [...]
VR Cloud is a cloud-based solution from Epiito that allows users to work with Virtual Reality (VR) from their favorite device - no matter where they are in the world. VR Cloud is a coherent ecosystem - all you have to do is upload your 3D configurator and publish it to the Epiito cloud [...]
In movies, video games, virtual reality environments, 3D configurators and other computer graphics arenas, lighting is the key to accurate representations of our physical world. The calculation of real-looking lighting remains complex and inefficient because the need to consider all possible paths light can take remains too costly for each pixel in real time. [...]
Cone tracing and beam tracing are a derivative of the raytracing algorithm for 3D configurators, which replaces beams that have no thickness with thick beams. This is for two reasons: From the physical point of view of the transport perspective. The energy that the pixel reaches comes [...]
Mip-Mapping is an anti-aliasing method that is used in many 3D rendering applications like 3D configurators. The method is usually used in game visualization and 3D image rendering. Mip-mapping removes the "moiré" patterns that usually occur in detailed textures with many lines. Moiré patterns appear when an applied texture is further away and the [...]
