- Report: The 10th UC-win/Road Conference / The Inaugural VR-StudioTM Conference
New Edition (UC-win/Road) and New Products (VR-StudioTM) Coming Soon:
Also Introducing the Overview of "World16" with Diversified Uses of 3D / VR

FORUM8 held "The 10th UC-win/Road Conference / The Inaugural VR-StudioTM Conference" at Tokyo Conference Center Shinagawa in May 20, 2009.
At this 10th time, the conference presented the latest information on development of FORUM8's products, focusing on the new version of UC-win/Road (Ver.4), which will be released in September this year, and the first edition of "VR-StudioTM", which is expected as the succeeding tool of UC-win/Road and is scheduled to be released in August. In addition to the main sessions entitled "New Developments with VR-Studio" with emphasis on advanced and unique cases of utilizing VR, there were technical sessions focusing on "Driving Simulator" and "CAD & VR" respectively. At the same time, we installed demo simulator with 6-axis motion in the open space in front of the main hall, and many participants experienced the latest VR technology.

Intelligent data handling and management technologies are helping boost operating efficiency - Mike Woof reports...

Visualisation tools are essential for construction designers. Forum 8 is offering its sophisticated UC-Win/Road software simulation package that comes with an array of features including 3D animation. The program allows the user to view the surrounding landscape; provide design and construction consultation; allow the visual examination of alternative project options; animation of vehicle movements; and driving simulation. Meanwhile UC-win/Road is able to take data from different CAD and modelling software packages using a variety of formats. This allows the development of 3D models of large areas of the environment to be easily and quickly generated.


The package can be used for simulating vehicles on-road and offers support for simulations such as external AP analysis results.

The company says the product can be used for playback of traffic micro simulation, as well as recording and playback of the UC-win/Road package. The 3D model animation follows Open XML format and the software offers several type of 3D model animation. See...

UC-win/Road Ver.3.4.7 : Fire and Smoke 3D Real Time VR Software

Function Summary
We have released a new function to express fire and smoke easily.
It can be used as one of the standard functions of UC-win/Road 3.4.
With this function, you can present various phenomena including fire, bonfires, steam from hot springs and smoke from chimneys. As the next step, we will develop extended options to achieve links with fire evacuation simulation applications.
