Autodesk Launches 3D Design Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark
COPENHAGEN,
Denmark, Dec 10, 2008 - Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) revealed today its
solution for visualizing digital prototypes, enabling among other things the
evaluation of car designs before these are actually produced. In cooperation
with Sony Professional, British HoloVis International, Swedish Majenta
Solutions and others, Autodesk has built a virtual reality studio at the
Danish Design Centre in Copenhagen.
The studio reproduces 3D models which are practically indistinguishable
from the real thing. Press conference participants were equipped with
special, interactive 3D glasses whose built-in stereo transmitters
constantly register the viewer’s position relative to the model, enabling
exploration of the 3D visualization inside and out – regardless of whether
the model represents a car, a helicopter or any other large piece of
industrial design.
With the Autodesk software including Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk
AliasStudio and Autodesk Showcase, it is now possible to create a complete
virtual prototype of any product. Referred to as Digital Prototyping, the
method reduces the need for multiple costly and time-consuming physical
prototypes, while rendering product development and design work processes
much more efficient.
According to the Autodesk PR manager for Northern Europe, Mikael
Löwenhielm, Digital Prototyping is already a key competitive differentiator
in many global industries including consumer products, industrial machinery,
automotive and transportation. This is why the development and demonstration
of this technology are so high on Autodesk’s strategic agenda.
“Digital Prototyping makes it possible to optimize and validate a design
much earlier in a development process than physical prototyping. This is why
the technology and work processes are making such gains throughout industry,
resulting in reduced product development costs and much faster
time-to-market. While we continually work to develop and refine our Digital
Prototyping product portfolio, the design solution for true Digital
Prototyping that we have presented in Copenhagen today enables
unprecedentedly realistic representation of 3D models,” says Mikael
Löwenhielm.
The press conference at the Danish Design Centre was the first time that
Sony Professional demonstrated its latest SRX-T1 xx series of ultra high
resolution projectors outside Japan. The new projector series sets new
standards for the image quality of digital design data visualization, and
played a key role in the virtual reality studio at the press conference.
