A software focus: XR SUITE.
One of Light And Shadows' objectives is to make its clients as independent as possible for the construction of virtual reality projects. With the XR SUITE, the company is developing a suite of software based on the power of the Unity engine : Light And Shadows offers its clients the possibility of building its own XR (immersive) scenes, from design review, test and validation simulations to training scenarios and serious games. Everything is "code-free", accessible to anyone and with the main goal to put the human back in the center of the decision-making process.
Among others, those are the use cases permitted by the XR SUITE:
To create one’s own scenario for design review;
To visualize a production line before it has been built;
To analyze the ergonomics of a work station;
To visualize a pointcloud and interact with,
To « translate » an existing situation in virtual reality, exploiting the potential of the digital twin;
To explore a location without having to be physically present ;
To test operations or facilities before implementing them.
With the integration of the CEA List's XDE Physical Engine, the softwares of the XR SUITE makes it possible to create accurate and accurate physical simulations such as kinematics or collisions, ergonomic analyses or assembly line simulations with its robotics module.
« Many companies such as Alstom, Safran, Naval Group and Michelin have trusted us and integrated softwares from the XR SUITE, whether it is INTERACT, XR TWIN, XR ERGO, XR POINT CLOUD or XR PAINT into their processes. » concludes Stéphane Imbert.
