This VR Product Review Demo was developed as a learning project in Unreal Engine, with the goal of exploring the pipeline from CAD design in SolidWorks to a fully interactive VR experience. The project centered around a mini hydroelectric system, serving as a test rig for importing and optimizing 3D models in Unreal Engine.

Technical Details

The demo allowed users to interact with the 3D model in virtual reality, offering features like measuring, taking snapshots, applying x-ray views, adding annotations, and creating exploded views of the design. The application also included a multi-user mode, enabling collaborative reviews either in VR or on PC. The entire process, from preparing the CAD files to setting up the VR environment, served as a valuable learning experience and proof of concept.

Conclusion

This project successfully demonstrated the potential of VR for detailed product reviews and collaborative design evaluation, highlighting a seamless workflow from SolidWorks to Unreal Engine.
