How CAD is Currently Playing into the VR Industry
To say computer aided design (CAD) has come leaps and bounds in the last 50 or so years would be a major understatement. The CAD world has undergone a significant transformation in recent times and is ever evolving. While CAD software initially enabled engineers, architects, artists, and other creatives to generate designs in 2D and eventually 3D conditions, it has now taken a step further by utilizing virtual reality (VR) capabilities. Why the transition? Well, the accuracy and reliability of designs can potentially be limited by regular CAD software. By going down the VR route, designers and consumers can create, improve, and even test projects in a virtual space before they are created in the real world. In this post, we’ll explore how the CAD and VR industries are feeding into one another right now, and look ahead at what’s to come. History of VR VR is by no means a new phenomenon. It was first introduced in the 1950s via Morton Heilig’s Sensorama machine – the ...
