Key Features

Scalable VR Systems: Vizard Virtual Reality Software offers VR motion tracking and VR projection systems, which the vendor claims are among the best in the industry. These systems can be customized to fit the needs of different industries and applications, with the goal of delivering realistic and immersive experiences.

Scripting VR Software: Vizard is a Python-based VR development platform that allows developers of all skill levels to create complex VR applications. The software provides hardware connectivity, enabling integration with various VR headsets, motion trackers, and other devices. It supports popular game engines like Unity and Unreal, as well as its own Vizard Core for VR application development.

Headset Virtual Reality: Vizard supports fully integrated, immersive wide area VR solutions using VR headsets. The software provides high-precision tracking for head and hands, aiming to deliver a research-grade immersion experience. The vendor claims that the setups can be scaled and extended, from single-user systems to warehouse-scale, multi-user installations. Vizard's VR headsets can be combined with other devices like eye trackers, biofeedback devices, and haptic devices.

Projection VR: Vizard's Projection VR systems utilize low-footprint 3D ultra-short throw projectors to create visualizations that transform any space into a nearly floor-to-ceiling virtual environment. These systems aim to provide collaborative 3D experiences for groups of up to 15 people, wearing lightweight 3D glasses. According to the vendor, Projection VR systems have a minimal footprint and can be installed in offices or labs at a fraction of the cost of traditional CAVE systems.

Virtual Simulation Room: Vizard's VizMove PRISM offers scalable VR training for healthcare and emergency professionals. The virtual simulation room aims to enhance scenario training by providing a visual, auditory, and sensory experience. It can be used for training healthcare providers, creating interactive clinical training environments, and triggering embedded contextual information. The vendor claims that VizMove PRISM allows for the creation of content-rich scenario training environments and brings hazardous training scenarios into a safe immersive training room.

Virtual Reality Eye Tracking for Research: Vizard supports virtual reality eye tracking, enabling researchers to capture user behavior and gain insights into visual attention and decision-making. The VR eye tracking feature allows for precise data collection, including eye movement, fixation time, and objects of interest. Vizard provides advanced data visualizations, such as gaze path visualizations, heatmaps, and gaze intersects, for analyzing eye tracking data. The software supports a range of VR eye trackers, including HTC Vive Pro Eye, Pupil Labs VR Eye Tracking, and StarVR One.

Vizard Virtual Reality Software Extensions: Vizard offers additional tools and extensions to enhance VR capabilities. SightLab VR Pro allows for creating and customizing VR eye-tracking experiments, while the Live Characters MotionBuilder Plugin enables animating VR avatars with realistic full-body movements using motion capture data. These extensions aim to expand the range of research and training scenarios that can be explored using Vizard.
