Presentation

Abstract

Human beings are visual, immersive thinkers... but why don't we make products this way? When you and your team can interact hands-on with the design... walk around it with your feet instead of a mouse... only then will you see it the same way as customers. When your team members can see the product this way you can be sure that everyone shares the same vision, allowing more unified collaboration. The iQ3 Virtual Reality Platform is the collaborative VR service for your CAD and simulation, making it as accessible as video conferencing. See how iQ3 can break down the barriers of understanding.
