Defining the Future of VR for the Enterprise
Top-tier technical specifications aside, StarVR is ideally suited for enterprise use due its ability to support “natural vision” – positional tracking combining gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers real-time data with an optical tracking system.
StarVR can support the enterprise in a wide range of use cases, including:
- simulation and training for the defense industry
- engineering and construction
- pilot virtual cockpit training
- architectural design visualization
- retail and showrooming
Most recently, StarVR teamed up with automotive visualization pioneer ZeroLight to showcase one of the most visually impressive virtual reality experiences to date – enabling users to configure, explore and interact with a digital vehicle.
At SIGGRAPH, StarVR executives will be on hand to meet with attendees to discuss the company’s technology roadmap for its game-changing virtual reality hardware and content development as well as soon-to-be announced industry collaborations that will expand the use of virtual reality for both consumers and the enterprise.
At the SIGGRAPH Studio Experience showcase by HP, StarVR will be showcased together with a prototype of the forthcoming HP hardware platform that will provide the requisite robust computing power to support an exciting new “wireless” StarVR virtual reality offering.
