For CAD users, VR presents a revolutionary way to showcase creative designs in an interactive and immersive fashion, transforming the business and work landscape. Whether you’re an individual, part of a team, or engaging with clients, VR brings you closer than ever to your designs, enhancing decision-making with accuracy and imagination.
VR Studio simplifies the VR experience for CAD users, offering a user-friendly, no-code platform that’s easy to learn. Within just 5 minutes, you can have your model in a VR environment, compatible with Oculus, Pico, phones, and computers. Best of all, VR Studio is free to use, providing the full capability to create a fully designed VR experience.
