UC-win/Road Educational Version Education software for creating VR
For students in elementary school, junior high school, high school(under
18 years-old)
Price:US$399 |
| This software, "Education software for creating 3D Virtual Reality",
is only for students under 18 years old. It has the basic functions of
UC-win/Road, so you can create and drive towns and roads in 3D VR space
with your own computer. If you have a steering wheel, you can experience
manual driving as well. You can also register the data you created into
the database created by GISWeb Systems of GEOMania and make it public.
You can also download and try the data created by others. This is a useful
simulation software for planning and building towns. |
