What is 3D-B-Vision?
The 3D-B-Vision is a Mixed Reality, or more specifically, an Augmented Reality (AR) hardware system. AR is becoming more popular because of its function in projecting digital information over the real (physical) world. And with 3D-B-Vision, there is the added benefit of being able to project the digital information in the form of 3D-Stereoscopic CGI. The information can be displayed over architectural models or other physical objects.
This glassless system is achieved by the use of two small projectors, placed eye-distance apart (for the 3D stereo capabilities). The participant looks through a transparent view window towards the physical object, and with the use of an overhead silver screen and lens filters, the 3D stereo image can be seen along with the physical setup.
With UC-win/Road version 4, real-time simulation information can be projected. UC-win/Road 4 will include a 3D Stereo plug-in that can take full advantage of the capabilities of 3D-B-Vision.
Cars, Pedestrians, and other moving elements can be shown acting together for an effective presentation with the 3D-B-Vision's stereoscopic projection.

Benefits:
- With UC-win/Road, real-time simulation information can be used with 3D Stereo
- does not require polarized glasses
- Promote new discussions for projects
- Depending on physical model size, many can be used as 'kiosks' with varying information
- strong visual impact with moving data

Difficulties:
- Only static cameras can be used (limiting)
- Can be difficult to set-up with silver screen
- Can be difficult to adjust angular views
