Users can now easily review and visualise their 3D design data in Microsoft HoloLens, or via a mixed reality headset or Surface Tablet. “Theorem Solutions is helping to close the gap between visualising 3D CAD on a 2D screen and enabling users to review design data at full scale and in context, in fully immersed or real-world environments based upon their device,” said Kevin Levy, marketing manager at Theorem Solutions.
