Taking a cylinder designed on a computer in your hands and checking whether the size is right is not science fiction but reality thanks to a new virtual reality platform. With the software Cross Connected, Rüdenauer 3D Technology GmbH (R3DT) brings 3D data transfer to the digital world. The software harnesses the possibilities of virtual engineering, thus integrating users at an early stage. As a result, development goals can be reached much more efficiently. Moreover, the spinoff of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology aims to promote easy usage in everyday life.
