BIM Virtual Reality
Walkthrough

Combining latest virtual reality hardware and software with BIM models allows clients to view a VR model of a building plan, which can be anything – from a basic floor plan of a parking lot to a complete model of a private house, hotel, factory or a hospital.

Buildings can be also placed around certain objects, which means that clients can utilize the full power of VR to get an idea of what a finished product will look like. But it doesn’t end here. VR models also serve to show modifications during the construction phase, and they offer a new means for decorating an interior of a building.

Instead to rendering a series of images to be able to look at models from different angles, per say, in VR all you have to do is just move your head or point a cursor. VR models can feature a live connection between the VR application and the BIM models, so there’s no data export or conversion process.

But VR presentations are more than just a great user experience. Real-life applications can go far beyond interactive presentations. For instance, by comparing emergency routes on paper with the actual travel times and distances experienced using VR models, fire brigades can validate their emergency routings in the case of fire.
