French software giant Dassault Systèmes has partnered with Apple to integrate Apple’s Vision Pro into its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which is widely used for creating virtual twins in areas such as manufacturing and urban planning. According to the company, the collaboration will revolutionise the way in which engineers and designers approach product development, enabling real-time visualisation and team collaboration in lifelike environments. The new 3DLive visionOS app will be available this summer.
With 3DLive, it will become possible for virtual twins created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to move from the screen and into a user’s physical space, while Apple Vision Pro’s cameras, sensors and tracking also allow the virtual twins to interact with the physical world around them in 3D UNIV+RSES with scientific accuracy.
According to Dassault Systèmes, this unique way to model, simulate, manufacture, train and operate will enable its customers to harness the full potential of 3D UNIV+RSES and spatial computing to adapt quickly to market demand, ensure scientifically accurate product quality, accelerate workforce training, collaborate and share knowledge and know-how.
‘Our engineering collaboration with Apple represents a bold advance that reveals the power of 3D UNIV+RSES, where 3D is a universal language for a new world combining real and virtual,’ said Elisa Prisner, executive vice president – corporate strategy and platform transformation at Dassault Systèmes. ‘This is at the core of our next generation of representation of the world. The wide and growing adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by our clients makes this cooperation a unique value for our gigantic, highly diversified customer base, seeing the high potential of 3D UNIV+RSES to collaborate and train our next-generation AI-based experiences on their own virtual twin data set.’
‘Apple Vision Pro continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible with spatial computing and is changing the way people work across key industries,’ said Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president of the Vision Products Group. ‘We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Dassault Systèmes to supercharge the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with spatial computing capabilities that will enable engineers and designers to effortlessly bring 3D designs to life in ways not previously possible.’
