The laptop can also be used in tandem with an extended 2D screen, making it possible to create or edit the content on a 2D monitor and then view any changes made in real-time in stereoscopic 3D on the SpatialLabs device. This speeds up the process of discovering design issues and drastically improves workflow: Product designers can use the SpatialLabs Model Viewer to get an idea of what the item they are designing will look like before investing the time and resources necessary to print or tool it. Managers and team members are also able to provide clearer feedback at each stage of a project and customers can visualize the design to ensure that it aligns with their expectations.
Furthermore, Acer’s proprietary solution SpatialLabs Go has been updated with AI technology that makes it possible to generate stereoscopic 3D content from most 2D content capable of being displayed in full-screen, such as photos, videos, simple games and even video conferences.
Acer’s SpatialLabs Developer Site – Unreal Engine Plug-in and Ultraleap Hand Tracking Solution
In May 2021, Acer launched the SpatialLabs developers’ program for Unreal Engine, a real-time 3D tool that gives creators the freedom to realize their visions, empowering developers and teams to collaborate and iterate faster than ever before, with no compromises in quality or scalability. With the launch of the ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition laptop, Acer also debuted the SpatialLabs Developer Site, where developers can get access to all tools including the Unreal Engine plug-in as well the support for Ultraleap Hand Tracking. Using Ultraleap’s hardware and software, users can input commands with hand gestures, rather than a mouse or hand-held controller. This allows for a far more intuitive experience and reduces the need for users to touch the device itself, which is particularly helpful for “high-traffic” displays, such as in a museum or showroom.
As part of the program, developers are working with Acer on a range of innovative content, applications, and projects—all created with a ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition laptop. Some examples include:
- A car configurator lets dealers show different models and options to the customers, even if a similarly configured car isn’t available on the lot
- Interior designers can share their design walkthroughs with clients to give them a better sense of space and the scale of each item within that space
- Motion capturing technologies make it possible to create videos with volumetric depth, so users can enjoy 360-degree cinematic experiences from anywhere in the world;
- Geospatial earth observation combines high-resolution data from satellites, aerial platforms, and bathymetric sensors, then fuses them to create true 3D landscapes
