Craig Fox, chief scientific officer, C4X
As it continues to grow and improve, virtual reality (VR) is beginning to feed back into the real world. From academia to fashion through to sport and construction, it is beginning to help us realise the impossible. To assess where the technology is in 2019 and where it might be heading over the next decade, 3D World has gathered experts and innovators in the field.
To begin, Victor Brodin, community manager for Unreal Engine, discusses how game engine technology is powering the next generation of VR. Next, ILMxLAB discuss the cutting-edge techniques that brought the Star Wars galaxy to life for Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, while Precision explain how they are training the next generation of surgeons. C4X Discovery also share details of their revolutionary new platform for discovering life-saving drugs in VR.
For any 3D artists who are looking to make the jump into the virtual world, we also have a rundown of the essential VR modelling tools, courtesy of 3D World editor Rob Redman.
