User interface in this version is stored on the server side and sent to the client when it connects to the server. This method enables users to customize the user interface of VR-Cloud® client to match the needs of their own. Each server can feed a different user interface.

In the case of a project which has a specific requirement, the additional user interface can be provided by FORUM8. Because it is very easy to add the user interface, there is no need to purchase additional software or update the existing component.
  VR-Cloud® Script Plug-in
To develop the new user interface, VR-Cloud® script plug-in is required. You do not need to purchase SDK or other development tools to engage in the development. A simple text editor is all you need to create the user interface and the VR-Cloud® server manages and sends everything that needs to be sent to the client. The software do not need to be upgraded.

The new user interface which is created via VR-Cloud® script plug-in can include images as well. Therefore, not only can you improve the overall quality of the new user interface, but you can also make it more visually intuitive by adding logos, diagrams, and other data to spice up the interface.
  New Home Menu Interface
The interface in home menu has been renewed to a better and simpler one.
  • The contents list can be browsed more easily because you can now scroll through the list using your mouse wheel and change the size of thumbnails. You can do likewise to the book mark list and history list.
  • The details of each content has become much more comprehensive.
  • The client option such as the preferred language can now be set directly from the home menu.
  • The contents list became very useful through various kinds of integration. From this version, it is now possible to connect to the contents list of your choice and to change the default contents list, in other words the list that is imported when you start the program, by manual operation as easy as inputting the address of the home page.

  New Contents Interface
After connecting to the server, the contents interface is displayed. The contents interface has become much more intuitive. All the functions are now displayed in one menu so you can now navigate through the menu (by clicking undo, exit etc.) more quickly and easily.
  Implementation of UC-win/Road Ver.9
VR-Cloud® Ver.5.0 is developed based on UC-win/Road Ver.9.0 so it includes many of the new and enhanced features as well as new plug-ins.
