| Project Abstract | ||||
Architects
and engineers in the building construction industry rely mainly
on renderings, drawings and verbal explanations to convey to
the clients (users or investors) the characteristics of future
constructions. Although these methods are good, they are static
and limit the clients’ capability to explore the building’s
characteristics at their full extent. This limitation comes
from the clients’ restriction to see only the drawings
and parts of the building rendered by the architect. The objective
of this project is to create a virtual reality environment of
a building that allows the clients to fly and walk through the
building to explore all its characteristics. The client will
be able to have a glimpse of the construction process time line
from start to finish. The clients will access the VR environment
through an Internet connection using commonly available desktop
computers. This virtual reality environment building will allow
users and investors to better understand the design and suggest
modifications before construction. Additionally, this virtual
reality environment is expected to promote the building.
