Unveiling VE Studio 6.0: A Milestone Update

The DiSTI Corporation has released VE Studio 6.0, the latest major version of its virtual training development platform. The new version provides full parity between desktop and VR environments, introduces the powerful Explore Mode and is overflowing with enhancements to performance, security, and usability.

This release pushes VE Studio® to new heights, further improving developers’ capacity to develop and deploy 3D training solutions across a diverse array of platforms. VE Studio 6.0 will provide seamless VR/desktop integration, real-time interaction with 3D models, and some new development features to improve development process. Let’s have a look at what makes VE Studio 6.0 unique and how the updates will enhance virtual training experiences.

Explore Mode: The Future of Interactive Training

VE Studio 6.0’s latest addition, “Explore Mode,” represents how innovatively users can interact with 3D models. It allows professionals to pause the lesson and directly interact with the models to enhance understanding and engagement. Users can:

• Change elements to examine how they are interconnected.
• Turn parts to see the whole system from different angles.
• Create sections that reveal the hidden components of complex systems.
• Observe slices and 3D dissected views to gain a better understanding of how parts relate to each other.

Such freedom allows users to explore intricate systems without interrupting the flow of a lesson, thereby contributing to increased interaction and improvement of the lesson and overall experience.

Complete VR/Desktop Parity Simplifies Development

Now with VE Studio 2025.1, the desktop builds’ functionality is now entirely supported in VR. The 2025.1 update further enhances the development workflow by allowing the development and deployment of lessons simultaneously across different platforms, while retaining all platform-specific capabilities. The following are the most important advantages.

• Cross-platform deployment: lessons can now be created while having the VR and desktop versions in mind, and thus can be deployed across Windows Desktop, wired VR, and mobile VR.
• Unified experience: all desktop-only features can now be used within VR environments.
• Consistent functionality: deliver comprehensive training programs across different devices while retaining all capabilities.

This enhances the development workflow; additionally, it provides a more versatile and comprehensive solution for VR training programs.

New Features and Tools in VE Studio 6.0

VE Studio 6.0 has some cool stuff to help make training more interesting and easier to build. One thing that stands out is the Explore Mode. It lets you pause lessons and thoroughly examine the 3D models. You can use tools to gain different perspectives and see how everything is assembled. This way, you get a hands-on feel for how things work.

Alongside Explore Mode, VE Studio 6.0 brings several other improvements, including:

• VR Component Locator, VR Fast-Find View, and VR Schematics: These help you get around and make training faster in VR. You can identify what you need before moving on.
• Updated Development Tools: The updated Requirements Analyzer, Fidelity Matrix UI, Test Driver, and Training Assistant enable developers to build, test, and refine training content in VR.

The enhancements in VE Studio 6 represent significant progress.With these enhancements, VE Studio 6.0 becomes a much more robust, user-friendly, and adaptable programme for both developers and users.

Boosting Performance and Security: VE Studio 6.0 for Defense and Commercial Use

Performance That Cuts Above the Rest: VE Studio 6.0 runs on Unity 6, which is faster and compatible with Windows 11. That provides a faster and more responsive experience, regardless of the platform.

State-of-the-Art Security: The DiSTI team has added state-of-the-art security to the platform. They’ve audited open-source libraries, eliminated legacy dependencies, and closed possible vulnerabilities. It all amounts to a more secure method of building.

Hands-on Defense Training: Explore Mode enables the defense sector to display system internals in real-time. This provides trainees with practical experience with complex layouts and subsystems.
