-Notes from the 3D simulation demo using visual components. -Reference an object and then bring it in to your world. -They used in-line parameters to control the objects. These params acted like virtual settings. -One of the fun things with the simulation demo was the point and click interface to show what was happening as you made changes. Adilas could use this on our permissions and corp-wide settings. -Once they were in the 3D world, they could copy and paste both functionality and objects inside the world. -Inside the 3D world, the user could move any item at will. This deals with 3D space or not being locked in to a 2D space. -Inside the software, they, the users, could drag to create the connections. I could see virtual flex grid relationships by created by drag and drop options in the future. -They used feeders to virtually feed product into the simulation. -More notes from the 3D simulation demo (continued) -Once an object was on the stage or screen, the user could virtually “teach” the object what to do. Instead of defining the process step-by-step or stage-by-stage, the user could drag and drop, push and pull, and then the object would mimic or copy the sequence. I could see some cross-over functionality there big time for adilas. -Many of the objects had built-in limits. -Use simulation to help solve problems before you do anything for real. This was also used to produce potential through output analysis. -They used Adobe PDF to hold the 3D animations for sharing with other people. They also used built-in options inside of Adobe Acrobat to switch between outlines vs. real colored graphics. I personally liked the outline view best. Very simple. -One of the analogies that they used was – help the people virtually get their driver’s license before they really hit the real world. -I would love to show tons of adilas scenarios on how things flow in a real-time, cause and effect, 3D, scenario. It would also be cool for what if’s or if I did do this, what would it do? |
