But for VR to truly influence design, it is the user of the CAD/BIM software that must have full control over when to enter the virtual environment. It’s fine to wait days or weeks for an expert to produce a polished VR experience for communicating proposals to the client or the team. The impact on the design process can be huge – but only if VR can be used at the precise moments where it adds most value. Walking across rooms, teleporting through doors, peering around corners – it’s all possible with a fully tracked roomscale experience. Users have the freedom to explore a building at their own pace, to understand how it will feel and function.

The feeling of presence – of existing inside the 3D model – is quite incredible. Architects, engineers and clients alike can experience a realistic virtual prototype of a building long before it is built.Ī fully immersive VR experience gives you a sense of scale, depth and spatial awareness that simply cannot be matched by a rendering, walkthrough or physicalscale model. Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the most exciting technologies to hit the AEC market in years.
