The digital production agency VRQ is another pioneer in Switzerland specialising in the visualisation of architectural projects in VR. Besides the agency Responsive AGwhich also has a showcase project in the field of architecture and the company's Dome Visualabout which we recently published a three-part Series VRQ is one of the companies that has already carried out projects.
Visualise with gaming industry technology
In contrast to Dome Visual, the VRQ team, which consists of only four people, uses the Vive for its visualisations as well as the latest technologies of the gaming industry. However, they do not want their customers to receive games, but rather cross-platform solutions that present objects optimally even before construction begins.
The VRQ team develops the VR experience based on individual drawings or 3D models. By using existing data, the team can save time and money. In the virtual world or in the virtual object, they can then add objects or logos as they wish.
The VR interface offers unlimited possibilities to interact in a project and adapt it to the client's wishes in real time: Materials can be changed, walls can be faded in or out, doors and windows can be opened. It is also possible to play with lighting conditions. In this way, future flats and properties can be presented in the best possible way and customers gain a comprehensive impression.
This week, the company uploaded two new YouTube clips on their latest projects, which give a good insight into their work.
Incidentally, current developments in the field of VR architecture are also exciting, such as those of IrisVR. In future, the tool will allow architects to plan directly in VR and to do so in a very simple way. In this way, they can test out their ideas and almost experience them in real life. Further visualisation solutions would then probably be superfluous. However, until such editors are marketable and architects have the necessary know-how, one or the other digital agency will certainly implement a few more projects.
