How essential are functional prototypes to your projects? AC recognizes the critical role that functional prototypes play in bridging the gap between concept and reality. For Valve’s VR hardware project, we developed and tested fully functional prototypes to ensure they met all performance expectations. This involved creating detailed models that accurately represented the final product, allowing for thorough testing and validation of both hardware and software components. By addressing potential issues early, we ensured a smoother transition to full-scale production.

Dive into the future of design validation with Virtual Reality! Forget the misconception that VR is just a fancy sales tool – it's now a must-have in our toolbox! In this snippet, we're using VR to assess accessibility to a flopgate for maintenance tasks, but the applications are endless – from checking bolt installation clearance to pre-planning installation sequencing and Rebar tying procedures! Curious about how VR can reduce your risks and boost profits? Let us show you the game-changing possibilities! #vrdesign #virtualreality #vr #technology #engineering

The future of VR with EXIT SUIT. This open-source force-feedback exoskeleton is like a page out of 'Ready Player One.' It's incredible to see how innovation is making science fiction a reality. You can even join their discord to build your own suit, be involved with the development of the design or software #VR #TECHNOLOGY #TECH #INNOVATION https://lnkd.in/dsPKJW-R

Just watched Apple's WWDC 2024, and I am thinking can you make Rusty Lake Series a VR version to adapted for Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest? How exciting would it be to collect tools and complete tasks using just gestures like putting masks for Albert with my own hands? Fingers crossed, Rusty Lake product team please! 🙌 Robin Ras #rustylake #cubeescape #applevisionpro #metaquest #appgamesinwearabledevices

How crucial is a solid project foundation for your success? At AC, we emphasize the importance of laying a strong foundation to set the stage for innovative development. We defined a comprehensive project scope when working with Valve on their VR hardware project. This involved understanding the full breadth of the project requirements, aligning objectives, and ensuring that all stakeholders were on the same page. A clear and detailed project scope provides a roadmap for the entire development process, minimizing risks and optimizing resource allocation.
