Working Smart and Safe with Virtual Reality Forklift Training
Working Smart and Safe with Virtual Reality Forklift Training
We developed a prototype of a forklift operator simulation for Human Condition Safety in New York that allows trainees to experience the behind-the-wheel hazards, as well as the complexity of shifting a load. Check it out!
Rowing A Boat Through Hades in Journey for Elysium
Rowing A Boat Through Hades in Journey for Elysium
In the Journey for Elysium prototype, the power of virtual reality combined with hand controls means you pick up the oar and start rolling down the river, just like you would in a real boat. See it in action in the video we posted today.

Martin Vogl, intern at PreviewLabs, details on his experiments with indoor location tracking, employing marker-based augmented reality.
How Strategy Games Can Help Company Leaders
How Strategy Games Can Help Company Leaders
At the request of a client, we were challenged to create a prototype to make the work of business managers more engaging. As it turns out, the key to solving this particular problem lies in the grand strategy game genre…
How Video Games Can Build Student’s Test Confidence
How Video Games Can Build Student’s Test Confidence
As much as we love building prototypes for game developers, there’s something special about helping out passionate professionals that have no ties to the games industry at all. Read on for a detailled breakdown on how we helped come alive one man’s vision to aid children build test confidence.
Surgical Simulation Prototype for SkySurgery
Surgical Simulation Prototype for SkySurgery
Make no mistake about it: surgery isn’t as straightforward as those television series make it out to be. To support the training of aspiring surgeons who operate using robotic equipment, we were asked to develop a prototype to accurately simulate surgery. Here’s how we dealt with this unique challenge.
Would a 4K Resolution Oculus Rift be Possible?
Would a 4K Resolution Oculus Rift be Possible?
Oculus Rift has a lot going for it, but currently screen resolution isn’t one of those things. Incited by the remark of a client, we set out on a mathematical journey to find out whether Oculus theoretically could develop a 4K resolution headset considering present technological boundaries.
Prototyping Racing Games: Road/Path Tool vs EasyRoads3D
Prototyping Racing Games: Road/Path Tool vs EasyRoads3D
A good racing game flies or falls with the quality of the race tracks. Crafting those manually takes a lot of time. Time you don’t have when you’re rapidly developing a prototype, so we’ve taken a look at some tools to help us create fun race courses on a very short notice.
Indoor Positioning: Recreating a Smartphone’s 3D Path
Indoor Positioning: Recreating a Smartphone’s 3D Path
We tried to figure out if it’s possible to reconstruct a smartphone’s three-dimensional path using only accelerometer and gyroscope data. This could be used for instance to draw a race track in a room by walking around, while waving your phone as a brush to draw the track.
