Eon Reality

Eon Reality is a developer of vr product visualization tools for the most part. They also integrate interactive vr hardware, and integration applications. The difference between Eon and Vrcontext or Navisworks is that VRcontext & Navis develop a vr software for large asset visualization and Eon does the exact same thing for incremental products- i.e. a pump part.

Eon Reality has several modules and toolkits. They break there product into display systems, software and applications.

1. Software applications include the following:
2. EON Professional-
3. EON Studio
4. EON iCatcher
5. EON iCube
6. EON Turbo
7. EON Plug-ins
8. EON Server
9. EON SDK

Applications include the following

1. EON Sales Assistant

Applications are:

1. EON Road Warrior™
2. EON Artificial I™
3. Desktop Reality System
4. Immersive Reality System

They then have an entirely different category for solutions which include service in the following areas

Navisworks

Navisworks is the developer of vr plant visualization applications. Their main application is Jetstream for engineering vr visualization. The basic philosophy is to develop one main product with a bunch of plug-ins. On their website they brag 7 plug-ins for Jetstream. I have summarized the descriptions from the website and highlight significant verbiage:)

1. Roamer- VR walkthrough
2. Publisher- Publishes 3D CAD and laser scan to .nwd
3. Freedom- Free .nwd viewing software. Get it: http://www.navisworks.com/en/jetstream/overview/freedom/form
4. Presenter - Creates images and animations NB?: I can't tell if this also modifies the as built???
5. Clash Detective - Reports interferences in a 3D project model --i.e. steal beam running through stairs :(
6. TimeLiner - Links 3D model data to project schedules.
7. RVM Reader- Read .rvm and associated .rvs files created by AVEVA Plant Design Management System.

I would like to hear from users or Navis people on the presenter (see NB?).

The demos and simple website are a very very good touch for the busy eng that doesn't want to filter through a website that looks like a chemical plant.

The application is a quick and dirty vr viewer for project applications.

Your comments appreciated. Navis people feel free.
