Virtual twin specialist Dassault Systèmes is boosting its product design and manufacturing platform with the addition of Apple Vision Pro functionality. The company’s recently launched 3D UNIV+RSES UNIV+RSES will incorporate a new “3DLie” visionOS app, which will be available this summer. Dassault Systèmes has worked with Apple to create this integration for industrial applications.

3D UNIV+RSES was launched by Dassault Systèmes in early February this year. The new system embeds multiple generative AI technologies into the company’s IP lifecycle management (IPLM) platform.

According to Dassault Systèmes, with 3DLive, virtual twins created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will be able to leap off the screen and into a user’s physical space, enabling real-time visualisation and team collaboration in lifelike environments. Apple Vision Pro’s cameras, sensors and tracking allow virtual twins to interact with the physical world around them in 3D UNIV+RSES with a high degree of accuracy.

“Our engineering collaboration with Apple represents a bold advance that reveals the power of 3D UNIV+RSES, where 3D is a universal language for a new world combining real and virtual,” said Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy & Platform Transformation, Dassault Systèmes. “This is at the core of our next generation of representation of the world. The wide and growing adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by our clients makes this cooperation a unique value for our gigantic, highly diversified customer base, seeing the high potential of 3D UNIV+RSES to collaborate and train our next generation AI-based experiences on their own virtual twin data set.”

“Apple Vision Pro continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible with spatial computing and is changing the way people work across key industries,” said Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president of the Vision Products Group. “We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Dassault Systèmes to supercharge the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with spatial computing capabilities that will enable engineers and designers to effortlessly bring 3D designs to life in ways not previously possible.”
