Modus VR Announces
Conferencing
Technology Software
for Commercial Space
Design and Planning
MODUS VR recently announces
their latest upgrade with the
addition of new conference
technology objects, features
and partners that " specifically
address the space planning
needs of enterprise technology
integrators, designers, architects
and customers. "
The latest additions " make it
faster and easier than ever for
all stakeholders to create conference
rooms that precisely
match the real layout of a given
space in 3D, " the announcement
says.
Designs can be built in real
time and complete with AV
equipment, furniture, microphones,
cameras and more.
Newly added commercial
objects include several products
from the ever-expanding
Modus VR partners such as
Logitech, including their
Rally series of communications
components and Logitech
MeetUp, Salamander Designs
Unifi Conference Tables, products
from Bose with their VB1,
Barco Clickshare and XT Series
LED Wall, Avocor E Series
Touchscreens and time-saving
generic conference cameras,
conference microphones and
pendants.
The list of new features includes
a Camera Field Of View
(FOV) Design Assistant. Leveraging
the power of VR, this new
field-of-view tool allows proper
design and deployment of cameras
based on room size, table
shapes and other challenging
aspects of precision camera
placement.
All involved can preview
8
locations in real-time and see
how cameras will perform best
and where they should be
placed. Participants can see
what the camera sees, taking
into account the camera's pan,
tilt and zoom settings.
Another compelling new feature
is the Modus VR Pixel Pitch
Design Assistant. Previously,
deciding and specifying LED
video walls was challenging because
of the difficulty determining
correct pixel pitch.
Users can now quickly verify
the screen pitch, the possible
positions of viewers, and thereby
decide how best to set up
the conference room or space.
Using a color-coded system,
Modus VR software indicates
what will be the ideal viewing
experience based on the viewer's
location, so the designer
can find the best balance of
performance and cost for all
project stakeholders.
" Modus VR technology
changes the game. We enable
customers to uniquely try
different layouts in minutes
and see how the different
technologies will perform their
best, " said Modus VR founder
Ken Brueck.
" Virtual reality is easy and
creates an environment for
real-time, more informed decision
making and greater longterm
customer satisfaction, " he
said. " These major additions
to our platform are timely,
considering most businesses
are refreshing their conference
rooms to support a hybrid
workforce that is located both
in office and remotely.
" Our new design assistants
for camera field-of-view and
screen pixel pitch can dramatically
improve overall efficiency
and efficacy, " said Brueck.
" Modus VR has been a major
step forward for our AV integraCommercial

tors, designers and the overall
sales process, " said DGI Communications
CEO Mike Walsh,
an early adopter and champion
of Modus VR. " Actions that took
hours now only take minutes,
and everyone involved can actually
see each detail and make
informed design decisions in
real time.
" By experiencing the space
virtually up front, we avoid
project delays and additional
costs from future modifications, "
he said.
Also in this package, Modus
VR announced Speaker Output
Visualization that allows users
to plan the location of conference
room speakers and
display the entire speaker
coverage pattern visually.
Modus VR software includes
unlimited training and support,
including support provided
remotely in the software itself.
Modus VR is licensed on a subscription
basis and the platform
is enhanced monthly, adding
most requested features, and
users are always updated with
the latest and most robust
version.
By applying Modus VR
technology and VR headsets,
integrators, designers, space
planners and facilities managers
can pretest physical
equipment/furniture layout,
demonstrate the layouts in true
dimensions to all stakeholders
and attain consensus buy-in for
greater satisfaction and faster
decision-making.
Modus VR also offers additional
design options including
remote designs sessions
without VR equipment or the
need to meet in person and 3D
renderings.
