Virtalis Appointed as Virtools Reseller in the UK
Virtalis has joined forces with another Virtual Reality (VR) pioneer, Virtools, a Dassault Systèmes company, by becoming the only Virtools reseller in the UK.
Andrew Connell, Virtalis' Technical Director, explained: "Virtools has been widely used by the games industry and has significant potential for the wider commercial and academic markets, especially in product design, owing to its seamless integration with Dassault Systèmes' CATIA. As well as the ability to create top notch demos for presentations and VR environments in, for example, automotive seating bucks, there are additional modules which can give extra capabilities, such as physical properties to CAD models."
As part of Dassault Systèmes, Virtools extends the company's 3D Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach, which is used by industrial giants including PSA, Boeing and EADS. Using advanced real-time, 3D content development tools and a proven production process, Virtools is a market leader in delivering a high quality, efficient and cost-effective method of developing a virtual environment and in applying interactivity to 3D models.
Francois Daudet at Virtools commented: "The VR market is mature in the UK, partly thanks to Virtalis. The company is the obvious choice for us and I am confident that we will develop a fruitful partnership together. Like Virtalis, Virtools strives to give users a "lifelike" virtual experience. We try to achieve this in the simplest possible way, using open architecture into which a client can plug his software, making the development of real-time, interactive VR environments more straightforward."
