Viewing a Unity model on screen

The Unity video presented in the Visualisation section followed a pre-determined fly-by pattern which was created by a graphic designer at Wood. If you would like to explore the Unity environment in further detail yourself, you can view the Unity Web Demo. This will allow you to pan, rotate and zoom within the Unity environment, so you can explore different aspects of the model at your leisure.

Most modern internet browsers will support the Unity Web Demo. We recommend using Chrome or Firefox as Unity WebGL content is not currently supported by Internet Explorer.

The viewing experience with Flexcom illustrations created by Unity is seamless. However, as this is an online demonstration which is viewed via a web browser, the response of the viewing controls may appear a little sluggish on your computer. This is purely a performance limitation associated with the browser and internet connection speeds, and is not a true reflection of the capabilities of Unity or the virtual reality experience.

 

Experience a Unity model in 3D virtual reality

Virtual reality environments are normally provided by means of a specialised headset, which is supported by a high performance computer. However you can also experience a similar, albeit slightly lower spec version, using a standard smartphone and a cardboard headset. Open one of the links below on your smartphone using YouTube, set the view mode to ‘Cardboard’, set the quality to ‘High Definition’, and then pop on the cardboard headset. Once you’re in the VR environment, you can adjust your viewing direction by physically turning around or looking up or down. The main limitation is that you cannot fly to different locations within the 3D space – your position in space is effectively static – which is why we have created two separate locations for you to explore, one above the water surface and one subsea.
