Virtual prototyping involves creating 3D models of products (cars, airplanes, buildings, machines) and using an HMD to explore it virtually. This exploration can help evaluate many aspects of the product and saves manufacturers the cost and time of building one-of-a-kind physical prototypes.
Some aspects of the Sensics piSight that particularly appeal to virtual prototyping users include:
Panoramic field of view that provides a very realistic feeling of "being there"
High resolution and wide color gamut that allows detailed exploration of fine attributes (such as letters and numbers on a dashboard), textures, colors and more
A broad range of software partners that provide very easy transition from popular design software such as 3D Studio Max or Maya into the Sensics environment
Substantial stereoscopic overlap which allows accurate analysis of near-field objects.
