VIRTUAL REALITY VISUALIZATION
Virtual Reality Visualization Helps Interior Designer Laura Gills Explain Her Vision to Clients
For years, architects and interior designers have struggled to convey our plans in a way that accurately shows clients what’s in our heads. There have been great advancements in design software and modeling, but it’s hard to picture yourself within a space on a computer screen. But now, that’s changed.
​
Virtual reality offers a realistic way to visualize design intents and concepts both for me as a designer, as well as for clients to understand the vision I have for a space. I use Sketch Up, a program I’ve used for more than a decade, to model a design, and then load that into a virtual reality system. So now, I don’t have to just show a client a 3D model -- I can put them in it.
