The SOLIDWORKS community is home to all different types of users who create the products that make our world go round. We have users who create machinery, high tech devices, consumer products, and much, much more.<\/p>\n
As the world evolves, our users adapt. They change their products, along their ways of doing things, in order to keep up with the tides of innovation that come over time.<\/p>\n
Preparing individuals to enter the ever-changing workforce is the mission of our colleges and universities around the world \u2013 to prepare their students to contribute to and keep up with these changes. One school that aims to do this in a relatively progressive manner is Full Sail University<\/a>.<\/p>\n Full Sail University has a program called the Simulation & Visualization program. It provides students access to SOLIDWORKS, as well as other tools, to give students experience \u201cwith the programming and critical-thinking skills needed to study and design virtual systems.\u201d<\/p>\n One student working towards earning his B.S. in this program is Jaime Soto<\/a>. Jaime is a student from Colombia who\u2019s currently studying in Florida. I\u2019ve gotten to know him over the past couple months as he\u2019s worked to complete his finals project for the year.<\/p>\n The project? To build a miniature Stewart platform and pair it with Unity<\/a>, a widely-used development platform enabling 3D visualizations, to make a gaming experience featuring the use of physical controllers. As part of the project, the platform would serve to practically mimic the input fed to Unity by the controllers (like the thrusters).<\/p>\n On a call with Jaime, he explained the process in detail:<\/p>\n
