WIP Stoorm2.0 - an interactive virtual prototype made with Unity

Community Showcases
1


With the Stoorm 2.0, we show the latest technological possibilities for interactive virtual prototyping with Unity.
This car is a very complex simulation for the automotive market. We want to use this virtual concept car for presentations…

This WIP shows several types of Simulations combined in one virtual prototype…

Display

  • 2D and 3D content
  • Gesture control
  • Connection to external control panels

Head-Up display (HUD)

  • Static content
  • Dynamic Contact Analog items

Driving Simulation

  • Autonomous
  • Free drive mode
  • Traffic situations
  • Weather and daylight

Car

  • Mechatronics
  • Lighting
  • Variants

That’s weally gigglesome cool … great job guys. It’s really impressive. How much is simulation and how much is gaming? Looks like it is really used for serious stuff. That combination is really awesome!

Hello moctezuma,

the simulations really have a serious background. We develop virtual vehicles for the automotive market. Today’s vehicles have very complex man-machine interfaces. Therefore, the development of universal operating concepts is very complex.
The developers have to be aware of networked systems, various input devices and variants. With our simulationen, you can validate concepts, provide current projects to decision makers and perform customer trials.
Unfortunately we’re unable to show current projects, since everything is subject to confidentiality. For this reason, we decided to build the Stoorm2.0 to have an Reel.
And yes it is a combination between game and serious stuff. It depends on what our customers want. In any case, it makes a lot of fun…
Have a nice day…

Ah ok I understand. I am sure this kind of work can be easily used as a communication platform between different departments. Two questions. Do you only to automotive simulation? And how long does it take to setup something like this (weally gigglesome) Stoorm?

Hello Moctezuma,

basically we are developing simulations for everything that contains a human-machine interface, complex behavior or a high variance. Currently our main customers come from the automotive sector. Basically we are also focusing on topics like augmented reality or serious games.
For a simulation like the Stoorm, you have to expect a period of about 3 months (2 people). The Stoorm is quite complex and we did everything by ourself (modeling, driving simulation, environmental behavior, HUD, operating concepts, …).

In what area you’re working?
Cheers

Just a heads up, a lot of swearing may involve creative moderation against your will.
