SaaS type 3D real-time simulation software UC-win/Road for SaaS (Current name is VR-Cloud®)" and SaaS type civil engineering design software "UC-1 for SaaS" won "the Special award" at "the 8th CSAJ Alliance Award ceremony"(sponsored by the Computer Software Association of Japan (CSAJ)).

[Press Release (Japanese)]　Cloud service of Forum8 won "the Special award" at CSAJ Alliance.

As for "Agent service expenditure for Industrial technology research-and-development (Next-generation high reliability, Energy-saving IT based technical development project )"(2010), "the service to use virtual 3D space supported by consensus building in cloud computing" was adopted.

[Press Release]　Approved as the project of METI(industrial technological research development consignment expense in 2010 (Japanese)
[Up&Coming Vol.88 HOT NEWS]　"3D・VR Cloud" has been adopted for the METI's R&D projects!! (Japanese)

In addition to the function of Standard version, the application of advanced VR which supports consensus formation on cloud, such as 3D bulletin board function and annotation function, etc. is possible.

3D bulletin board function (Patent pending: No. 2011-133352)

• Users can create a discussion.
• Users can display the discussion made by others and reply to it.
• Discussion is displayed in VR space with 3D icon.
• Discussions can be displayed in list and divided by category.

▲Discussion function

Annotation function

• Icons can be displayed in VR. Users can view, edit, and delete photos.
• Camera position can be selected from GPS on Android™.

▲Landscape evaluation function

▲Annotation function

Photo function

• Users can create annotation by a simple editor, and other users can check and reply to it.
• Annotation is displayed with 3D icon at specified position.

Conference by multiple users

▲Display of 3D icons

▲Contents viewer

Case studies of VR-Cloud® Collaboration function ▲Example of design meeting ・Drawing handwritten design on the main screen ・Discussion using video conferencing system (Skype) ▲The viewpoint can be selected freely. ▲Discussion and 3D icon of annotation "Mizuki Shigeru Road x VR-Cloud® Ver6.1" In a renewal plan of Mizuki Shigeru Road promoted in Sakaiminato city, VR data of the concrete plan is created and shown to persons concerned and citizens for PR and a consensus building of the design plan. The VR-Cloud® is used for a remote design meeting by sharing the data.

Main functions of VR-Cloud®

1. Operation mode (Viewpoint, movement)
• Freemode (Free view point position by interactive)
• Driving simulation
• Flightpath simulation
• Manual driving using keyboard
  Patent aquired [Patent No.] 5149426
  >>　Acquired a basic patent related to driving simulation on 3D VR cloud ('13.01.22)
• Free walking mode
• Executing a script (Automatic presentation)

▲ Walking simulation and displaying avator

▲Selection of vehicle model for driving simulation

1. Environment setting
・Context (Environment setting in one time)　　・ON/OFF of traffic flow 　　・Environment setting ON/OFF

1. Multi client correspondence
2. Operation by the acquisition of operation authority
3. Audio support
4. Android™ support
5. xpswmm simulation (flood and tsunami analysis) support

Performance of VR-Cloud®

• When the client PC connects itself to the server, scripts stored in the server will be sent and they can then be executed by the client.
• The building of user interface as well as various operations including transactions with the VR-Cloud® server can be feasible by the client.
• One example of an application would be the standard script that makes all commands that are available in the current VR-Cloud® server accessible from the menu.

a3s (Anything as a Service) SDK is a SDK (Software Development Kit) that enables the creation of unique cloud applications. Video and audio streaming and function to receive and transmit large amount of data using high-speed data transmission system allows users to develop various types of cloud services.

Plugin that displays 3D models built by RhinocerosRhinoceros 3D®(Robert McNeel & Associates http://www.en.la.mcneel.com/) within the 3D environment of UC-win/Road.

• Data are transferred back-and-forth between UC-win/Road (server) and Rhinoceros® (client) via a3s; 3D model in the process of being built by Rhinoceros® is reflected in UC-win/Road. Model positioned within the 3D environment can be edited.
• Thanks to the combination of VR-Cloud® and RhinoPlugin, users of VR-Cloud® can browse Rhinoceros® models.
