Dassault Systèmes, a leader in virtual twin technology, announced a partnership with Apple to integrate Apple Vision Pro with its 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This collaboration will result in a new app called 3DLive, available this summer, which will use spatial computing to bring virtual twins into the real world. This integration aims to revolutionise design, manufacturing, training, and operations across various industries. The announcement was made at Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Forum in Houston.

A new spatial computing experience

Dassault Systèmes and Apple worked together to combine the strengths of both platforms for this new spatial computing experience. Another new app, HomeByMe Reality, was also announced, allowing users to visualise home interiors and tour properties virtually.

The 3DLive app for Apple Vision Pro will allow users to interact with virtual twins in their physical space. This will enhance real-time visualisation and team collaboration. The integration with Apple Vision Pro's advanced cameras and sensors allows for scientifically accurate interaction between the virtual twins and the real world.

This technology has implications for a wide range of industries and roles. It is expected to improve product quality, accelerate training, and enhance knowledge sharing. The partnership aims to help customers leverage the potential of 3D universes and spatial computing to adapt to market demands.

“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.

What does this partnership signify?

This partnership represents a significant step forward in combining the real and virtual worlds through 3D technology, according to Dassault Systèmes. This new technology is central to the company's next-generation representation of the world. The widespread adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform positions this collaboration to benefit a large and diverse customer base.

“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.

Dassault Systèmes believes this collaboration will be particularly valuable for training next-generation AI-based experiences using clients' virtual twin data. The partnership highlights the potential of 3D universes for collaboration and training in various fields.
