Our patented technology simulates how the human body moves and interacts with physical objects, leveraging two decades of research breakthroughs in soft tissue biomechanics and high-performance computing at the University of British Columbia. Benefits of accurate simulation range from human health to computer animation.
Consumer goods — such as high performance apparel and wearable devices — can be designed, optimized, and tested in a virtual world before prototyping in the real world.
Coming soon… breakthrough software for apparel fit testing. Contact us for early access.
Vital Skin FX simulates physically realistic skin sliding and wrinkling for compelling visual effects. Available now as a Maya™ plugin. Integrates seamlessly into animation pipelines, and is being used in major productions. Contact us for a license.
Vital Body is a software engine for dynamic simulation of the human body. Robust and accurate simulation of soft tissues, such as skin, fat and muscle, and interactions with clothing and the environment. Currently in beta. Contact us for early access.
Our technology can be used for design and virtual testing of consumer products that interact with the human body. We work closely with customers in different industries to build customized solutions to develop superior products and reduce time to market. Tell us about your application.
Vital Mechanics has developed revolutionary virtual fit testing software for close-to-body garments (e.g., athletic apparel, intimates, swimsuits). We will be at PI Apparel in New York in June 2019 with an update on the latest developments. Hope to see you there!
