A man performing product user testing in VR

Solving today’s user testing challenges.

Companies face several barriers in making user testing truly impactful, from costly prototyping to inadequate tools for capturing meaningful data. Insights from experts in the field highlight the following challenges with current workflows;

Planning: User testing is often treated as an afterthought, with no structured process for integrating it early in product development.
Preparation: Physical prototyping is expensive and time-consuming, often limiting the range of users who can participate.
Testing: User tests typically involve a narrow group of participants—often internal staff or those with existing NDAs—resulting in limited feedback.
Analysis: The lack of integrated analysis tools makes it difficult and time-consuming to gather actionable insights.

CADcog addresses these challenges with a cost-effective, secure, and immersive solution. It enables you to interact with CAD models in Virtual and Mixed Reality, simulating real-world usage and providing richer, more diverse user feedback. Benefits:

Cost-efficient prototyping: Reduce the costs and logistical complexities of physical prototypes by testing in virtual environments.
Diverse user feedback: Engage a broader range of users, with perspectives that would otherwise be missed, ensuring products are more accessible.
Enhanced data security: Protect sensitive data with increased security measures, including easy NDA management for external participants.
Integrated analysis tools: Use advanced tools for data capturing and analysis, making it easier to draw meaningful conclusions from user tests.
Sustainability: Increase environmental sustainability by reducing the need for physical materials and minimizing travel during the testing process.

Our platform ensures secure access and transmission of data during collaborative sessions, complying with industry standards and regulations regarding data protection and privacy, including trippel AES-256-CTR encryption with zero knowledge architecture.
Will I get motion sick in VR?

While the experience of motion sickness can vary from person to person, the majority of users do not experience any discomfort when using CADcog in VR. However, we prioritize your comfort and well-being, so we recommend utilizing the teleport function within the platform to navigate instead of using the thumb stick for movement. In the event that you do feel any symptoms of nausea or dizziness, we advise taking a break and transitioning to the PC version of CADcog for the remainder of your session. This alternative allows you to continue collaborating and accessing the platform's features without any potential discomfort. It's important to note that with repeated use, most individuals acclimate to the VR experience and no longer experience motion sickness. Our team is dedicated to providing a comfortable and enjoyable user experience, and we continuously strive to optimize our platform to minimize any potential discomfort.
Why should I use VR?

Using VR offers a multitude of benefits and a more immersive experience compared to viewing the world through a 2D screen. With VR, you can engage in a wider range of activities and gain a deeper understanding of virtual environments. But don't just take our word for it – we encourage you to experience it firsthand!
