Virtual Reality in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry

VR is rapidly enhancing the way we experience the buildings even before they are constructed. The Virtual Reality applications brings a host of valuable benefits to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. The integration of the 360° video, photography and sound capture technologies together can create a virtual space that gives a profound sense of presence in another world – the virtual world.

VR in architecture

VR lightens up the elements of architecture – forms, spaces and aesthetics – making it an incredibly powerful method of engaging clients and igniting their enthusiasm for a project. VR visualizations provides a platform to the people to walk through realistic environments which would be created in future, offering a real sense of perspective that photography cannot achieve. It also helps the Architects, Designers and Engineers to do an instant analysis of the design and helps them to create much more meaningful, creative and feasible designs.

VR in engineering

VR is probably the most revolutionary design tool, as it takes you inside your own projects with the help of a 3D model and visualization. You experience an immediate sense of space, function, aesthetics and feel. You can identify flaws and potential risk in the design before its implementation. Modifying and playing with the elements within this virtual world encourages more creative, innovative and bolder ideas.

VR in construction

VR provides a powerful opportunity to analyze the projects in a virtual space, structures can be explored, tested and planned in advance, mitigating risks and tackling design changes before construction thus saving a lot of time and money.

VR in the AEC industry has a role to play at every step. It can help you play with infinite concepts, create complex environments, design out errors and showcase proposals in amazing ways.

Benefits of Virtual Reality in AEC Industry

Bring the human risk-factor to safety testing

  • Place people in virtual worlds and put your safety systems to the test.
  • Facilitates conversations about spatial implications.
  • Facilitates internal reviews in True-To-Scale environment.

Transform stakeholder engagement

  • Create virtual walkthroughs of your building so potential clients or investors can experience it on a visceral level.
  • Develop client trust early on in the project
  • VR walkthroughs engages public audiences

Improve Co-ordination by cross-team communication

  • VR provides a platform or a virtual space where your Architect, Engineer and Contractor can meet and actually walk through a project together.
  • Identify collisions, conflicts, and mistakes in an intuitive manner
  • Solve complex coordination issues by placing consultants within VR spaces
  • Evaluate the implications of value engineering on final design in 3D environment

Experiment and personalise

  • VR creates an interactive building environment where different stakeholders can meet, discuss, do design changes to check what fits where and do feasibility analysis
  • Quickly explore and iterate on conceptual options

Showcase your work far and wide

  • Quickly generate realistic 360 panoramic images to share progress reports
  • VR creates 360° films of your homes or buildings for VR enabled platforms like Facebook and YouTube, where every nook and corner of the building can be explored.

Quality Audits and Facilities Management

  • Reduce built mock-up costs
  • Quality Assurance and Control
  • Test modularized systems prior to fabrication for accuracy
  • Reduce change orders throughout the entire construction phase
  • Provide a visually intuitive method for training maintenance staff and operations team
