Pittsburgh, PA, March 31, 2016 (Newswire.com) - In Simio's continued effort to pursue Forward Thinking, they are proud to announce their latest software release, Simio 8.136!
This latest release features compatibility with the new Oculus Rift 3D Headsets. These virtual reality headsets created by Oculus VR allow users to walk through models they built in Simio virtually. In the past, Simio provided a 3D modeling environment where you could construct your model both 2D and 3D concurrently. Now with this new release, you have an entirely new perspective for viewing your model!
"Simio has always been on the cutting edge of innovation with the software. This integration with Oculus Rift 3D Headsets allows our users to experience an entirely new perspective of their model."
