Virtual Reality Online Collaborative Environment for designing, analyzing and modeling buildings and monuments.

The Senate of the Technical University of Crete approved the proposal of the Digital Media Laboratory (DmLab) for the supply of large-scale scientific equipment, which includes the creation of an Online Collaborative Environment for the Design, Analysis and Modeling of Buildings and Monuments in Virtual Reality, through the Public Investment Program.

In this way, the School of Architecture becomes the first in Greece – and among the few internationally – to have an 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗩𝗥 system that will allow 10 users to collaborate remotely, in real time and on a real scale, within a 3D environment.

The High Performance Computing System (HPC) is based on a NVIDIA RTX platform, combining 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 and Ray Tracing – Rasterization capabilities, of a total power of 1 𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙁𝙇𝙊𝙋𝙎 and 260.8 FP16 TeraFLOPS. The result is achieved through 8 Quadro RTX 6000 graphic cards (𝟭𝟵𝟮𝗚𝗕 Total Video Memory), as well as with 𝟭𝟬 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗛𝗧𝗖 𝗩𝗶𝘃𝗲.
