Virtual reality has established itself as an important tool for product development and presentation within the last few years. In order to tap new potentials of this technology, to establish new fields of application and to further develop existing technologies, the Virtual Reality Lab was established in 2001.
Today, the lab is a competence center where innovative basic technologies, such as projection-based 3D visualization, 3D interaction technologies and haptic interaction solutions are constantly being developed. Based on these technologies, applications are developed in the classic application fields of CAD, CAS and, in addition, new VR application possibilities are opened up in the areas of fly-and-walk-through for technology and architecture, installation and removal investigations, training platforms, prototype development and telepresent machine controls.
