Engineering Case Study AWE + Design Visualization “We want our VR engineers to use the best tools available, which is why we’re working with Vicon.” VR T eam Leader, AWE. Image courtesy of AWE Pioneering motion capture since 1984.AWE’s virtual reality (VR) lab is a new facility where users can experience design proposals before they become reality. It allows engineers to see for themselves if things are right and therefore avoid costly mistakes. There are six people in the engineering VR team at the Aldermaston AWE facility. The engineering VR team leader spoke to Vicon about the benefits of VR and described how the Vicon motion capture (mocap) system is vital in creating their virtual world. A plan on a piece of paper can’t convey the same understanding a VR environment
