Exploring KeyVR Upgrades: Cutting Through Product Concepts in Virtual Reality
KeyVR, Luxion's proprietary virtual reality platform, is known for empowering users to share, edit, and explore product concepts in a connected VR environment. The most recent update to KeyVR comes with several impressive new tools and user experience upgrades. This article delves deep into the enhancements of KeyVR, including the new Cut Plane tool and the improved Pointer tool, to reveal how these upgrades can facilitate product development by providing a more dynamic and immersive VR experience.
New KeyVR Tool: Cut Plane
An essential part of product design and development is understanding the inner workings of a product. The new Cut Plane tool in KeyVR allows users to cut straight through objects, thus revealing internal components. Users have complete control over the plane's position and angle of orientation, giving them the freedom to explore the product from various perspectives. The Cut Plane tool is also compatible with KeyVR Connect, enabling multiple users to view the cutting effect and adjust the plane's position collaboratively.User Experience Upgrades
Improved Pointer Tool
The enhanced Pointer Tool in KeyVR aims to prevent accidental scene modifications or undesired teleportation. By using this tool, users can only point at different parts of the product, restricting any unintended changes to the scene. The tool also features a Lock mode, which further ensures that only the selected tool can be used. This feature is especially useful during multi-user sessions, as all participants can discuss the product while pointing at different parts, with each user's pointer distinguished by a unique color.Quality of Life Updates
Improved Bloom and Emissive Graphics
KeyVR now supports emissive materials, which, while not casting actual light or shadows, are visible as colorful and bright surfaces, offering a similar experience to KeyShot. Additionally, the software automatically applies a Bloom effect to very bright parts of the image.Object Outlines
The new Object Outlines feature provides a selection outline to any modifiable object in the scene. This feature allows users to instantly recognize if an object can be modified with the current tool, thereby simplifying interactions with new or larger scenes. The selection outlines are also a visual effect used in KeyShot to visualize what part is selected and active, creating a more consistent look and feel between KeyShot and KeyVR.In Conclusion
The latest KeyVR update is a testament to Luxion's commitment to enhancing user experience and facilitating product development processes. By offering tools like Cut Plane and Object Outlines, KeyVR is enabling designers and developers to explore product concepts more deeply, making it an invaluable resource for professionals across various industries.
