Vection has continued the implementation of new features on its FrameS - SaaS Virtual Reality Platform, incorporating valuable feedback from its current Tier 1 clients.
Based on Vection’s VR technology, FrameS is considered to be the ultimate software visualisation tool , allowing users dislocated world-wide to interact real-time in a multi-user virtual environment on a shared project. SMEs can collaborate on the same 3D model in the FrameS virtual environment, generating efficiencies on marketing & communication, design & prototyping, product development and training, and, hence, reducing costs relating to these activities.
Vection will look to leverage its unrivalled market knowledge in this field and the growing adoption of innovative technologies by companies worldwide to offer FrameS widely to manufacturers and other companies interested in the field.
ServTech will shortly finalise a global launch strategy for FrameS and appoint distribution and reselling partners. This is an important initiative for the Company and its aspirations to make FrameS a leading and widely used SaaS platform.
Gianmarco Biagi, Managing Director of ServTech, commented:
“Vection has demonstrated significant growth since incorporation, aligned with the VR/AR software adoption trends world-wide. Leveraging ServTech’s existing network and international presence, and Vection’s Tier 1 client portfolio, we believe FrameS has the potential of being significantly adopted by the global market.”
