Improved Posability in Upgraded ViP Models

The IT’IS Foundation proudly announced the release of six new Virtual Population (ViP) models with advanced posing capabilities — and fully compatible with Sim4Life. The improvements include more realistic deformations in extreme postures –such as arms raised overhead – and additional spinal joints that enable natural neck and back bending.

These upgrades increase anatomical realism and provide greater application-specific flexibility, making them particularly valuable for simulations in areas like magnetic resonance safety assessments and wireless power transfer. The added spinal joints allow postures to be adapted more precisely to a variety of use cases.

This release marks the beginning of a phased upgrade of the entire ViP library, with more models to follow soon. All upgraded models remain fully compatible with Sim4Life and continue to adhere to ViP quality standards.
