BS Contact 7.1

3D software for visualization of 3D models in VRML, X3D and Collada

– interactive and in realtime –

BS Contact 7.1 enables the visualization of applications in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality through integration of interactive realtime 3D technology. The software is a stable and a high performance visualization software applicable for PCs, CD ROMs/DVDs, E-mails and the Internet/Intranet. VRML and X3D are certified ISO-Standard formats that are exported from most 3D authoring tools e.g like 3ds max or Blender.

Architectural visualization



BS Contact is currently available in release 7.1 (Demos and Release Notes 7.1 )

With BS Contact 7.1 we address suppliers of products and services
for applications like

  • E-commerce
  • E-learning
  • E-government
  • E-healthcare

in branches of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality like

  • CAD
  • visualization of simulation or measurement results
  • architecture
  • product visualization

where the use of Input and Output Devices like

  • keyboard and Mouse
  • spacemouse or haptic devices
  • camera (video integration) and remote control
  • screens
  • 3D monitors
  • CAVE and POWERWALLS

is needed.

Due to the dessemination of the 3D ISO-Standards and its availability on the Internet, the software can be used in many different ways. An overview of implemented cases shows the Selected Applications. An academic overview shows the following scheme( Horizontal Markets ).

Please find more applications in Online Demos and a demonstration of technical features in our Feature Labs.
