FORUM8 is a Japanese software house established over 30 years ago specialising in 3D Virtual Reality & Engineering software technology. The company has offices, partners and customers in countries around the world. FORUM8's 3D VR product is VR-Design Studio (also known as UC-win/Road). VR-Design Studio is Real-time Interactive 3D VR Simulation & Modelling software. VR-Design Studio is the ideal solution for many different interactive simulation applications, such as urban and transport planning, emergency event planning and training, stakeholder consultation via VR-Cloud and Driving Simulation. It is used either on its own or in conjunction with data from other industry standard design & analysis, micro-simulation & 3D modelling software, civil engineering, flood modelling or LiDAR laser scanners. One of the most popular applications of VR-Design Studio is in the development of state-of-the-art Driving Simulation systems. FORUM8 Driving Simulation systems are available with a wide range of different hardware platforms, subject to the customer’s budget and requirement. These range from relatively low-cost static systems to multi-million-dollar motion-based simulators. FORUM8 can also offer customers drive simulators based on real cars, vans, trucks or even train and ship systems. In addition FORUM8 has a specialist Engineering Software department whose principle product is Engineer’s Studio®. A modular software system, Engineer’s Studio® is widely used by Engineers working in some of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions to define the geometry, materials and loads for complex structural systems using a variety of element types. With an extensive range of plugin modules available, Engineer’s Studio® enables structural engineers to simulate the response of large structures under extreme seismic events.
