Optimizing Design with Virtual and Mixed Reality (AR/VR)

Speaker: Daniel Doherty, BTech, CET, CM BIM

Health care facilities can be extremely complicated spaces and design is very much driven by functional requirements. It is critical that the spaces are suitable for the needs of the staff providing the health services. Often it is difficult to visualize spaces from drawings let alone explore potential constraints. Even a life size mock-up is limited to one option at a time and is costly to building and modify. Leveraging augmented or virtual reality technology allows owners, designers, contractors and occupants to fully experience spaces, as well as explore many options quickly and efficiently.
