To a certain extent, virtual reality is already a staple in the architecture profession. In large offices, and some innovative smaller ones, a semi-portable VR rig with headset, handsets and sensors has been a common sight for the last year or two. Seeing them in use, however, is less common, as they\u2019re often confined to special demonstrations and not an integral part of the design process.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if an architect\u2019s VR experience occurred in a purpose-built room where participants immersed themselves in a 1-to-1 projection of the firm\u2019s own design software, viewed through standard-size eyeglasses? This is exactly what pioneering company Reynaers Aluminium<\/a> made for its Experience Center<\/a> in Belgium, the center where they showcase the possibilities of their wide product range for windows, doors and fa\u00e7ades. It\u2019s a fascinating example of the direction VR technology for architects is
\nlikely headed.<\/p>\n
