Virtual Design World Cup The 5th Student BIM&VR Design Contest on Cloud

 The 3rd Cloud Programming World Cup

International VR Symposium The 6th Summer Workshop in Greece

Dawning of a new business era through real-time 3D VR technologies!
National resilience, autonomous driving, BIM/CIM, cloud computing…
  The era when virtuality crosses with reality... FORUM 8.
An invitation to Design Festival 2015
We at Forum 8 Co. Ltd. would like to express our sincerest gratitude over your continued attention, support and patronage.
As with previous years, Forum 8 will be hosting the 9th Design Festival 2015 at Shinagawa, Tokyo. However, this year we have extended the Festival by adding a new "Festival Eve" to the 3-day long event held at the Shinagawa Intercity complex. The new Festival Eve will be held at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX, making the entire Design Festival officially a 4-day long event.
Since its initial release in 1981, our UC-1 series has undergone through many major upgrades and continue to evolve into many new products, which will be announced during the event. We also released the Engineer's Suite Integration Computation and the 3DCAD Studio. For the FEM Analysis line, we have released Engineer's Studio Ver. 5 with enhanced plate element features, and updated the FEMLEEG to allow wider uses, such as 3-dimensional solid analysis. These efforts combined really allow us to strike deeply into the heart of CIM business and support our users through our high-precision 3-dimensional analysis.
Finally, the award-winning UC-win/Road has now both been widely used as a simulation tool, forming the backbone of our IM & VR products and CIM solutions. Furthermore, we also recently receive a lot of patronage from automakers and many other industries for simulation or concept visualization. Our latest example of such solutions is the 4K-5-screen CAVE driving simulator currently situated in Nagoya University. We continue to explore future domestic and foreign opportunities to help enhance the system development process of our clients.
Since October 1, 2015, we have established a new Nagoya Showroom at the 36th floor of Nagoya JR Central Towers. Similar to Tokyo, the new Nagoya Showroom will exhibit our integrated systems and host web seminars.
The typical 14th 3D VR Simulation Contest, the 16th UC-win/Road Conference, the 9th Design Conference have an unprecedented increase in popularity this year. The 2nd National Resilience Design Award, and our student contests, the 5th VDWC and the 3rd CPWC have all received an all-time high in attention levels and projects. During each sessions, we will invite guest presenters of various backgrounds and our avid users to present their latest works and exchange opinions with all of our guests. We will also demonstrate many of our new products and solutions, as well as announcing the printed works of "VR Road Engineering" and "Environmental Assessment through VR Cloud" (both in Japanese), which are newly published by Forum 8 Publishing.

We sincerely thank you for you attendance under a busy schedule.
Yuji Ito, CEO of FORUM8 Co. Ltd.

The 5th Virtual Design World Cup
The 5th Students BIM & VR Design Contest on Cloud
-Cloud-based design competition for civil engineering and construction works with BIM/CIM and VR! -

Theme 2015
"Redevelopment of Keelung Station Area in Taiwan"

This is an international design competition for students to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum ( 3D cloud BBS ). The script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster" (A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment". We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your masterpiece. We encourage students from different departments majoring in different field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to demonstrate that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline.
