Dassault Systèmes' Living Heart Project
CES 2018 will take place in Las Vegas in January and Dassault Systèmes is planning to show how industry, startups, entrepreneurs and makers are using the virtual world to create solutions in digital health, vehicle technology, and smart cities.
Startups from Dassault’s 3DEXPERIENCE Lab and the SOLIDWORKS for Entrepreneurs program including Digital Orthopaedics, Dracula Technologies, EEL Energy, Leka, L’increvable, Perseus Mirrors, SYOS, XSun and XYT, will be there to explain how collaborative technology ecosystems are enabling new concepts in consumer-focused sectors, particularly in personalised patient care, energy and water use.
“Parents and therapists of children with special needs often struggle to help them engage with their surroundings and make progress in different areas of learning,” said Ladislas de Toldi, CEO, Leka. “The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is enabling us to develop a multi-sensory robotic ball with lights, sounds and vibrations to engage children, closely follow their progress, and provide a fun way to keep them interested and motivated at home and in therapy.”
Other startups and entrepreneurs will also have the opportunity to pitch their projects and gain advice from Dassault Systèmes’ experts on the booth.
Dassault Systèmes’ customers and partners in the high-tech, life sciences, consumer goods and retail, and transport industries, will also be on hand including TactoTek which will be showing 3D injection-moulded structural electronics that enable designs across a wide range of product categories, and Kreisel Electric with its high-performance battery systems and electric drivetrain solutions. Plus, visitors will be able to see the latest updates on the Living Heart Project that simulates a human heart for personalised health and medical research, including its extension to other parts of the body.
“Consumers today expect uniquely owned product experiences from purchase to end of life. Answering this expectation is absolutely crucial to the way companies think,” said Olivier Ribet, Vice President, Industries and Cross-Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables the newest startups and the biggest companies to transform the way they innovate and do business. By connecting the dots across disciplines, by thinking in experience, by unleashing creativity, and by having a way to connect the virtual to the real worlds, they can become agile, nimbler, faster and more competitive, and can create value. At CES, you see the massive transformation and promise of technology, and Dassault Systèmes is at the centre of it all.”
Dassault Systèmes’ booth will also include an “innovation in action” area focused on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s holistic approach for the digital creation of game-changing consumer experiences that can positively impact society.
Attendees to CES 2018 can visit Dassault Systèmes on booth #8300 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Centre on 9-12th January.
