<div class="tab-content-content">SHIMA SEIKI's SDS-ONE APEX series 3D design system has created a new way to experience the latest knit collection virtually. The VR-knit.com website allows users to view knitwear displayed according to themes based on trend forecasts with realistic virtual samples. Coordinated samples can be viewed against 360-degree backgrounds matched to each theme. Users can also select tag buttons located alongside each item to view specifications for that item.</div><div class="tab-content-content"></div><div class="tab-content-content">The website's intuitive user interface allows for easy viewing of 3D models. Users can swipe to rotate and pinch-in and -out for zooming. Arrow keys are also available for panning and rotating. The origin button is used to return the model to its default position. The website also offers a VR mode, where users can view the model in 3D VR mode by tapping the VR goggle icon. The model rotates by tilting your head in either direction. Additionally, users can place a virtual model in the actual landscape in front of them using the AR mode.</div><div class="tab-content-content"></div><div class="tab-content-content">The ultra-realistic knit fabric viewer allows users to check the ultra-realistic knit fabric that fully reproduces the 3 dimensional effect and realistic texture even when magnified. Users can view the knitted fabric by switching between front and back sides. The website also delivers additional information about new samples as well as the latest trend information by push notification. The SDS-ONE APEX series is SHIMA SEIKI's 3D design system that supports the entire knit product supply chain from planning and design to production and sales promotion. </div><div class="tab-content-content"></div><div class="tab-content-content">By using high-quality simulations based on scans of actual yarns, realistic virtual samples can be used for evaluating designs before producing actual knit samples. Because the final product image can be produced in 3D, knit collections can be presented using apps such as VR-knit.com without the need for actual samples. Knitting machine data is also prepared along with virtual samples, so communication with the knit factory can be performed smoothly once that design is approved for production.</div>
