USC, EON Reality Collaborate on Immerse 3D

By DE Editors

EON Reality has announced plans for the next phase of the company's collaboration with the Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). This next step will investigate the use of fully immersive environments and the impact of their use in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), as well as in the integration of non-3D sources of data.

The pilot program utilized EON's Artificial I interactive real-time 3D software; EON Coliseum, a Web-conferencing tool; and EON Creator, an interactive authoring tool that allows users to create stereoscopic 3D scenes/lessons to develop complete blended learning environments with features including video, Wikipedia, PowerPoint, sound effects, YouTube, annotations, quizzes, and more. 

"The use of Virtual Reality and Icubes create a huge communication opportunity for us between the designers and construction companies. They can interact and develop the 3D designs of the constructions such as buildings and bridges and also of the operations of the facilities in a much better and quicker way," said Lucio Soibelman professor and chair of the Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
