Mixed Reality Industrial Elara Systems 2019-10-25 | Mixed reality comes in is as a subcategory of AR that distinguishes itself in the blending of reality and the virtual world into a true hybrid. As the physical environment around the user changes in response to his actions, the software automatically updates and responds, providing new and updated information. Because MR places the greatest demand on hardware and software capabilities, it is often thought to be the furthest from realization of the three, VR, AR & MR.Microsoft’s HoloLens is one of the early examples of companies harnessing MR technology. The applications offered through the platform are many and varied, but some of the more notable examples include a Skype app which lets users draw and diagram while speaking to one another remotely, allowing each to interact with the other’s creation; or HoloStudio, which allows you to create virtual objects through intuitive hand gestures, and then print them out via a 3D printer.

Influenza - The Flu Virus Elara Systems 2019-09-03 | elarasystems.com/elara-illustrates-the-flu-virusInfluenza, or the flu, remains one of the most common viruses and diseases on the planet, resulting in 9.3 million to 49 million illnesses each year in the United States since 2010. Some types can lead to serious illness, while other types of flu cause milder symptoms. Type A flu virus is constantly changing and is generally responsible for the large flu epidemics. The flu A2 virus (and other variants of influenza) is spread by people who are already infected. In this flu virus animation, we bring to life the different types of flu viruses, including how the virus penetrates cells in the body, and what can be done to stop the spread of infection.

MicroFiber Drops Elara Systems 2019-04-17 | Microfibers are synthetic polymers and usually much longer than the cellulose fibers won from organic materials. They are also about an order of magnitude thinner, typically only a few micrometers. They don’t like to bind water. The water absorption of the microfibre comes mostly from a clever production technique that increases the surface area of the fibers.This brief but very beautiful illustration shows some of the remarkable talent at Elara Systems. They are immensely creative (not to mention quite a lot of fun with whom to work).Elara Systems. Yes, you can have a good time and do exceptional work.

Push Modifier Limited Tutorial Elara Systems 2019-04-16 | 3D Studio Max has provided artists and developers with a visual scripting tool to develop custom modifiers, tools and extended functionality.This MCG tutorial explores the deforming modifiers that are aware and reactive to other geometry in the scene. This is method for ‘faking’ soft body collisions and interaction wherein geometry is pushed outward along its normal, but when it interests with target geometry the ‘push’ modifier is limited. This can be used to produce very effects that look very physical, but are quite simple and inexpensive.
Chronic Back Pain Video Animation Elara Systems 2019-04-16 | Relievant’s objective to provide solutions for patients suffering from chronic low back pain prompted them to contact Elara to illustrate their Intracept Procedure in an engaging and impactful way.This 3D animation was initially developed to educate physicians on the link between the basivertebral nerve and chronic low back pain, while illustrating the mechanics and effectiveness of Relievant’s Intracept Procedure. While the piece was originally developed to be used at conferences to target physicians, soon after deployment, it was strategically revamped to be utilized within their trade show booth as a feature attraction for a much broader audience. Ultimately, the animations and stills created by Elara formed the core portion of Relievant’s marketing and messaging strategy.This project highlights Elara’s ability to reach broad and varying audiences by creating multiple versions of an animation – while keeping the core assets in place to effectively and efficiently obtain maximum impact at a reasonable cost.
