From a recent release, Dassault Systèmes announced that 3D UNIV+RSES, which is powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, will use spatial computing capabilities to provide a new dimension to virtual twins, with the use of the “3DLive” visionOS app. According to the release, Dassault Systèmes partnered with Apple to integrate Apple Vision Pro into the next generation 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This deep engineering-level collaboration between Dassault Systèmes and Apple has brought together the best of both platforms to deliver what Dassault Systèmes considers a magical experience.
With 3DLive, virtual twins created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will appear to leap off the screen and into a user’s physical space, enabling real-time visualization and team collaboration in lifelike environments. Apple Vision Pro incorporates advanced cameras, sensors, and tracking to allow virtual twins to interact with the physical world around them in 3D UNIV+RSES with scientific accuracy.
According to the release, this unique and powerful way to model, simulate, manufacture, train, and operate delivers value across all industry sectors and roles, enabling 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, and collaborate and share knowledge and know-how.
Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy & Platform Transformation, Dassault Systèmes is quoted as saying, “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. The wide and growing adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by our clients makes this cooperation a unique value for our 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.”
Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president of the Vision Products Group said, “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. 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 easily bring 3D designs to life in ways not previously possible.”
Enterprise customers can download Dassault Systèmes’ new 3DLive app for Apple Vision Pro. In addition, the release said that Dassault Systèmes has released a new Apple Vision Pro app—HomeByMe Reality—that allows users to imagine, explore, and visualize home interior options from the comfort of their own home, a furniture store, or in a showroom.
