Why Engineers Choose VisionSym

Create virtual optical prototypes with speed and accuracy.

Physical prototypes are costly, time-consuming, and difficult to iterate. VisionSym enables engineers to create photorealistic virtual prototypes that accurately predict the appearance of optical systems before manufacturing. Validate illuminated and non-illuminated designs, investigate performance issues, and make design decisions with greater confidence. 

With VisionSym, count on accurate tone mapping algorithms and luminance / color measurements with physics-based light sources, materials, and media. Analyze and address design challenges by pinpointing root causes and efficiently making model updates in LucidShape CAA V5 Based. VisionSym sets the benchmark for optical visualization.
