How to develop VR applications
and publish
from phone to dome

By using the EON software platform it is possible to
develop one application and publish to many
platforms from phone to dome display systems.
During the last 20 years the EON Software platform
has been built to help create advanced interactive
3D applications and enable them to be published on
various platforms including Windows with support
for multiple rendering nodes and mobile platforms
like iOS and Android.

➢ VR support in EON software
➢ Publishing from phone to dome
➢ Advanced VR display systems
➢ Use cases and experiences
In this talk, I'll describe:

➢ 20 years experience within Virtual
Reality/Interactive 3D
➢ 30+ years experience in software
development
➢ Responsible for software
development at EON Reality
➢ Master of Science in Electrical
Engineering from Chalmers
University of Technology in
Gothenburg, Sweden, 1992.

VR support in EON
software

➢ Immersive multimedia or computer-simulated reality
➢ Replicates an environment that simulates a physical
presence in places in the real world or an imagined world
➢ Allowing the user to interact with that world.
➢ Virtual realities artificially create sensory experience, which
can include sight, touch, hearing, and smell.
What is VR?

➢ Stereoscopic Viewing
➢ Perspective handling
➢ Tracking: Vicon, A.R.T., Kinect...
➢ Interactions: Gloves,
game pads, Wand
➢ Special effects: Smell, wind, vibration
Ingredients in Virtual Reality

Publishing from phone
to dome

➢ Template holds information about a specific display
system: display configuration, tracker system etc
➢ One template per display system
➢ Same content file can then be used on many
different display system setups
Advanced template injection system for configuration

➢ Create an app directly from the EON Software suite
➢ App will include necessary app information for
publishing
➢ Automatic optimization of texture formats
Deployment tool for Android and iOS

➢ Build one application
and publish on any
platform
➢ Use more or less all
functionality from
the EON software
platform in any
hardware platform
Publishing from phone to dome

Advanced VR display
systems

ICube - cave environment

● EON IBench - zSpace stereoscopic display

➢ Traditional - Sony Glasstron
➢ Current
○ Google Glass, MS Hololens - and
many other smaller companies
➢ Desktop
○ Oculus, HTC Vive
➢ Mobile
○ Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR, Zeiss
VR One, Epson Moverio BT 200
VRH - Virtual Reality Headsets
Important technical considerations
➢ Field of View
➢ Image size - on See Through Glasses
➢ Memory limitations on mobile devices
➢ GPU limitations on mobile devices

ExxonMobil
Rex W. Tillerson, Exxon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
EON Icube can be used for operator training similar
to how flight simulators are used.
EON was selected since they delivered everything:
software, content, hardware.
Operators can with an emergency response team
train for low probability/high-consequence
scenarios.
Rex W. Tillerson, ExxonMobil Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer
Tillerson wanted to be convinced VR
this is a good thing to do. ExxonMobil is
spending a lot of money on making their
plants reliable. The more reliable you
make your plants, the more important it
is to train low probability/highcost
events (anomalies).

➢ Develop a 3D immersive virtual reality simulator for
training operators in oil and gas production,
processing, and transportation facilities
➢ Users shall have an experience of being on site
➢ Use state of the art technology
➢ Process control integration
➢ Routine operations
➢ Emergency response for
low-probability /
high-consequence scenarios
➢ Team training capability
ExxonMobil - Objectives with training
simulator

➢ EON Icube – 4-sided immersive virtual reality
environment
➢ Vicon Optical Tracking of Human for perspective
handling, avatar and gesture tracking
➢ Process control integration (Honeywell etc)
➢ Voice control
➢ Odor, Vibration and Directional Wind system to
create realistic environment
➢ Multiuser/Team Training –
multiple EON Icubes and other
display systems
➢ LMS integration
ExxonMobil - Visualization and Virtual
Reality equipment

● Single or multiuser display
● Need to render 2 - 9 times depending on number fo
users
● Loose resolution - high pixel density is great
Glasses free 3D Display

ExxonMobil - Visualization and Virtual
Reality equipment

➢ Very large model
The current model contain more than 50 000 000
polygons. EON can navigate seamlessly in this
model.
➢ Incomplete 3D CAD models
Used for design
Real plant has been modified after CAD model
