Students receive prototyping training
Virtalis has supplied all the VR hardware and software being used by the University of Strathclyde for its virtual and physical prototyping systems.
Students reading for degrees offered by the University of Strathclyde's Design, Manufacture and Engineering Management (DMEM) Department within the Faculty of Engineering will benefit from a fully integrated series of virtual and physical prototyping systems The Virtual Reality (VR) element was the last component to be added to this studio, with all the VR hardware and software being supplied by Virtalis Gordon Mair, Senior Lecturer in DMEM, explained: "Our students can now create a design in CAD, take that data into the VR systems and view their design stereoscopically, with a full 3D depth effect"

Virtalis subsidiary VP Defence has just delivered a brand new virtual reality (VR) trainer for the 7.62mm general purpose machine gun (GPMG).
"They can then make changes in CAD and rereview or transfer the data over to one of several high-spec rapid prototyping machines to create a physical object".
"Both undergraduates and postgraduates will benefit from this facility - roughly 400 students".
"We will also be making our digital design and manufacture studio available for use by local industry".
Virtalis has supplied the University of Strathclyde with a front-projected StereoWorks Passive System.
The StereoWorks range consists of the stereo viewing hardware coupled with the StereoTools software suite.
The basic system, which offers SXGA resolution, has two small Christie projectors, a seven-foot screen and a compact PC image generator with wireless control.
As well as supporting VR and VR-enabled CAD software for real-time stereo design, StereoWorks also allows high-resolution digital stereo movie playback at very high bandwidth. Request a free brochure from Virtalis ...
