seat) includes the features of EON
Studio and more. Professional supports
more than 100 2D/3D file formats,
including native support for Alias,
Catia, NX, Maya, and Microstation.
It also has several features to create
more-realistic simulations. For
example, EON Visual Effects creates
high-quality, flexible shading by using
the Cg shader technologies on the
latest generation of graphics processing
units, and with EON Physics, people can
incorporate kinematics, mechanisms,
collisions, gravity, friction, and
dynamics within the VR simulations.
With Professional, says Cheben, "When
you put on head-tracked glasses in an
immersive environment, the scene is
rendered specifically for your eyes. By
moving your head in an immersive, but
natural scene, you're able to look under
a car or, inside a car, you're able to see
the different knobs on the dash and all
sorts of other parts."
It's like the real car, virtually speaking.
t Even without eye-tracking glasses or
head-mounted display, 3D geometry
displayed as flat projections can be
animated so that viewers can move the
geometry as they wish, see what they want.
