templates for cross-sectioning and exploded views.
Power to show stakeholders how VR can positively
impact operations and help progress adoption in
their organization, with data sets that bring VR
environments to life.
Innovation Spotlight
Designed to accelerate VR development and optimize it for
high-fidelity use cases, the kit is for professionals who are
experienced with VR but need to streamline their current VR
development process, as well as professionals who are new to
VR and need simpler, faster ways to get VR into their design
visualization process.
At HP, we are putting the tool kit to use ourselves. A
construction project, currently underway at HP’s Houston
campus, presented the perfect opportunity to prove the
VR Launch Kit’s value. We worked with the tool kit and our
design partners to create a walk-through experience to see
their proposed redesign in VR. Our executive staff was able
to make design decisions on the spot, experience the campus
at different times of day with various lighting, and sign off on
colors and patterns, making the approval process much faster
and concrete than in previous projects.
And the innovation doesn’t stop there. We’re looking forward
to hearing even more use cases that bring our customers’
products and scenarios to life and illustrate the wide-ranging
potential of the VR Launch Kit.
