Lanner forms Partnership with Virtalis for enhanced 3D & VR

Partnership will bring a new dimension to Lanner’s software

"VR is all about decision making and so are Lanner’s products”, explained Virtalis’ managing director, David Cockburn-Price. “Lanner created the world's first visual interactive simulation tool and we also have many technological breakthroughs in advanced visualisation. Ultimately, we both help our customers to optimise and communicate their business efficiency and processes. We plan to bring a new dimension to Lanner’s software that will tear down communication barriers within their customer organisations.” 

“To the professional operational analysts who form the majority of our user base, the data is key. When you are spending billions building a gas pipeline or constructing a hospital that can successfully handle diverse processes or planning the manufacturing facilities for a new model of car, the critical thing is whether every single parameter has been considered. However once it has, and an optimal solution has been found, then this has to be communicated to the stakeholders, most of whom require help in moving beyond the pure maths into something they can understand through visualisation. For this reason, we didn’t want 3D from the beginning of the process, but we did want it to be quick and efficient at the end.

“We approached Virtalis because we want a long working relationship with a company that has both the skills and the people to enable us to leapfrog our competitors’ 3D capability. Later this year, our customers will be able to articulate their thinking visually, allowing people from very diverse professional backgrounds to work together in a shared, intuitive and collaborative virtual environment.”
