VIRTUAL REALITY – THE FUTURE

Virtual Reality plays a key role in the future of architectural design, as surprisingly people struggle to visualise space and understand plans.

Our Virtual 360 tours allow viewers to remotely explore an unbuilt building; accessible through a desktop computer, tablet, mobile device, and VR hardware i.e., Meta Quest 2; before they have even submitted a planning application.

This allows the prospective client to view their dream home in an interactive and immersive experience that is far more engaging than just images and plans. The virtual tours also improve the viewer’s understanding of space, light, and scale.

The desired outcome is the emotional connection the user will experience.
