Disruptive Design Communication through VR
Today, technological advancements enable us to work remotely
and still be connected in real-time. For professionals in the building
industry, Virtual Reality (VR) is a revolutionary, new technology that ensures
a real-time relay of communication to multiple stakeholders. This disruptive
nature of VR for architects is making huge strides in design experience and
communication.
While design communication traditionally comprised of
sketches, drawings, models and semantic descriptions, we have expanded our understanding
to explore alternative dimensions to such outputs. VR is the only advancement
in the design sector which acts as a technique and gives an output. It is a
one-stop solution that reduces multitasking. Through VR for architects we no
longer see what we want to see – rather, we see what will eventually be and as
was designed.
Trezi is India’s VR-first architectural design communication
and collaboration product that generates an immersive computer-based project
environment of 1:1 scale with absolute precision for stakeholders to
collaboratively investigate, communicate and arrive at the most suitable design
decisions for the project. All of this is enabled with the help of a simple VR
head-mounted device. With VR, the device-user can simply walk around the
immersive impression in an easy-to-understand representation of the design.
Initially, the 3D model is processed to enable real-time VR rendering modes –
greyscale, shaded and sketch. In order to generate a VR architectural
walkthrough in the chosen mode, Trezi needs only three simple steps to be
followed – one, to select the key points of the required path, then set the
speed of the walkthrough and, finally, set the curvature which leads to the
paths along with the walkthrough generation in minutes. The process is complete
for direct sharing of the walkthrough web-links that Trezi generates. Such
features that create immersive design presentations are great value additions
to the overall business of design. On the whole, VR has enhanced the design communication
and marketing process for the AEC industry and it enables the quick generation
of VR architectural walkthroughs and 360-degree virtual tours of the project space in no time.
Developed exclusively for the building industry, Trezi works
in a bi-directional manner with most source files including <add names

with the manifested reality. It eliminates even the smallest degree of mismatch
in expectations in a design project.
