The challenge

Our client wanted its senior stakeholders to see design progress in virtual reality, through something simpler than full virtual design and construction (VDC). It had to be easy for them to put on a headset and follow, and suitable for the sales team to use with prospective customers.

What we built

A 360° VR experience of the client’s building design, built along the same lines as our AR Visualizer. The wearer of the headset chooses from a set of guided tours; each one leads them through the design, and they can look around in every direction as it goes.

In the headset

  • Choose a tour: the wearer picks one of the guided tours.
  • Be guided: the tour leads the way through the design.
  • Look around: a full 360° view at every point.

For stakeholders and sales

Senior stakeholders can review design progress without specialist VDC tools, and the sales team can use the same experience to show prospective customers the design.

In the VR headset the wearer chooses one of several guided tours of the building design. The chosen tour plays as a 360-degree view, so the wearer can look around in every direction as it moves through the design. It is made for senior stakeholders reviewing design progress and for the sales team with prospective customers, and needs no VDC software.
