Elle couvre déjà 30 villes françaises. © Ubick Ubick, une solution de cartographie en 3D 100 % française - 2 Photos Lorsqu’on parle de cartographie numérique en 3D, on pense généralement à des services comme Google Earth, Apple Plans ou Nokia Here. Ubick dispose d’un mode 3D stéréoscopique dont on peut profiter en se servant de lunettes anaglyphes. Cinq caméras embarquées pour Ubick Créée en 2001, cette société dont le siège se trouve à Limoges (Limousin) est spécialisée dans la cartographie aérienne par photo numérique et lidar. Pour réaliser les prises de vue aériennes destinées à Ubick, Imao a aménagé l’un de ses avions avec un système comportant cinq caméras et une centrale inertielle. Ces images aériennes sont ensuite traitées par InterAtlas, une entreprise créée par Pierre Farout. A voir aussi sur Internet

Making Virtual Reality Less Virtual A decade ago, the dream of a separate, virtual world didn’t seem so far-fetched. Second Life, a digital world where people could create and interact with human-like avatars, seemed poised to blow up. A magazine wrote a cover story about a Second Life millionaire. Politicians made policy announcements in the virtual world. Second Life never took off as predicted. But that might be changing. Rosedale is also back on the virtual reality scene with the new venture. Even if Rosedale is right, that’s probably a while away. At this early stage in the gestation process, though, it’s fascinating to take a closer look at Rosedale’s mission, because it exposes a lot of basic, mind-bending questions. But the question of whether lots of people can learn to love virtual reality is also a wonderful thought experiment, because it forces us to answer this: If reality can be completely recreated with technology, what makes reality so special? Current communication technologies aren’t that fast.

This tool will sustainable accelerate and simplify the work-flow and time necessary to compose, animate and optimize 3D models and interactive content for the web and standalone applications. Even "non 3D specialists” can be now in the position to generate 3D real-time applications easily. The "BS Content Studio" Tool addresses a horizontal market and has been developed around the Web3D ISO standard X3D with the goal to enable a broad range of application domains including CAD, GIS, games, process automation, 3D printing, virtual catalogs, 3D marketing banners, configurators, product visualization, automation, augmented reality, stereo TV content, social communication and many more.
Trucs en vracs | Astuces pour opensim Evénement virtuel 3D : Fédérez votre communauté tout au long de l’année Les chiffres clés du marché des salons virtuels Les événements virtuels représentent 3% du marché de l’événementiel mondial et 75% des entreprises sont intéressées par utiliser le virtuel dans leur stratégie de marketing événementiel. Ce marché est en pleine expansion avec une prévision de croissance de 53% pour 2016 (vs 2012) soit 20 milliards de dollars sur cette même période. Et cela est très avantageux puisque les coûts sont réduits de 25 à 90% par rapport au budget nécessaire à un événement physique (Virtual Events Market Insight, Virtual Edge Institute, janvier 2013). Événements physiques vs événements virtuels : quelles différences ? Une solution flexible à moindre frais complémentaires aux traditionnels événements physiques ? De nombreux avantages… Vous allez nous objecter : « Cela est intéressant mais un événement virtuel ne permet pas d’entrer directement en contact avec le visiteur ». Cette solution virtuelle s’affranchit donc de toutes contraintes spatiale et logistique.
