Multi-site design reviews generate significant travel costs and slow decision-making. A recent study revealed that 68% of industrial projects experience delays due to coordination difficulties between geographically dispersed teams. SimLab VR Collaboration removes these barriers by allowing teams to instantly connect in a shared virtual environment, working together on high-fidelity 3D models. This solution reduces travel costs by 60% while accelerating validation cycles by 35%. Discover how to orchestrate immersive collaborative sessions that revolutionize your distributed design processes.
What is SimLab Collaboration?
SimLab Collaboration is a powerful add-on module integrated into the SimLab ecosystem, instantly turning any virtual reality experience into a collaborative multi-user session. Developed to meet the growing remote work needs of technical teams, this tool stands out for its ease of use combined with advanced immersive collaboration features.
Unlike traditional collaborative solutions limited to the screen, SimLab Collaboration allows participants to truly feel present in the same virtual space, interact naturally with 3D models, and communicate efficiently as if they were physically together. This fundamentally transforms design reviews, training sessions, and business presentations into shared immersive experiences.

Key Features
Instant Collaboration
Turn any existing VR experience into a collaborative session in just a few clicks. The host can invite up to 20 participants (depending on the plan) to join their virtual environment via a simple share link, with no complex setup required.
Multi-Device Compatibility
Join collaborative sessions from any device: Windows PC, Mac, iOS and Android smartphones, or standalone VR headsets like Meta Quest or Pico VR. This flexibility ensures all participants can join, regardless of their available equipment.
Integrated Communication
Communicate naturally with built-in voice chat, enabling smooth discussions among participants. Avatar display with usernames makes it easy to identify speakers and strengthens the sense of shared presence.
Customizable Avatars
Each participant can personalize their virtual appearance for better identification and a more immersive experience. Avatars include realistic animations that replicate head and hand movements for natural interaction.
Synchronized Interaction
All participants can simultaneously interact with 3D objects in the virtual environment. Changes, animations, and interactions are instantly visible to all users, ensuring a consistent experience.
Long Sessions
Host collaborative sessions lasting up to 240 minutes, providing ample time for in-depth design reviews, comprehensive training, or detailed presentations without technical interruptions.
How SimLab Collaboration Works
SimLab Collaboration integrates seamlessly with the SimLab ecosystem to turn your individual VR experiences into shared environments:
- Select the Experience – Open your 3D model in SimLab VR Viewer
- Activate Collaboration – Click the "Collaboration" button to start a session
- Share the Link – Generate and share the invitation link with your participants
- User Connection – Participants join the session from their preferred device
- Collaborative Interaction – Work together on the 3D model in real time
The entire process takes just a few seconds, enabling quick setup for ad-hoc or scheduled sessions according to your business needs.

Concrete Business Benefits
Cost Reduction
By eliminating the need for physical travel for design reviews and training sessions, SimLab Collaboration enables significant savings on travel, accommodation, and daily allowances. An average company can reduce travel-related costs by 30% to 70% by implementing this immersive collaborative solution.
Accelerated Development Cycles
The ability to quickly organize remote review sessions accelerates iteration and validation cycles. Teams can identify and fix issues earlier in the development process, reducing time-to-market by 15% to 40% depending on project complexity and stakeholder involvement.
Improved Cross-Functional Collaboration
SimLab Collaboration transcends departmental barriers by allowing engineering, design, marketing, and sales teams to participate simultaneously in virtual sessions. This multidisciplinary approach fosters a better understanding of each department's constraints and objectives, leading to more coherent products better suited to market expectations.
Reduced Environmental Footprint
By limiting business travel, SimLab Collaboration directly contributes to reducing your company's carbon footprint. Organizations engaged in CSR initiatives can quantify and highlight this CO2 emissions reduction in their sustainability reports.
Optimized Technical Training
Shared virtual training sessions allow learners to visualize and manipulate complex equipment under expert supervision, regardless of their location. Studies show a 75% improvement in information retention compared to traditional training, with a significant reduction in learning time.
Scalability and Flexibility
SimLab Collaboration's economic model adapts to your needs: only the host needs a paid license, while participants can join sessions for free. This approach makes it easy to scale your use of the solution as your needs grow, without disproportionate financial commitment.
