At IrisVR, we aim to make a VR an everyday tool for the AEC industry. That’s why we focus on integrating Prospect with the 3D modeling applications and file types that you’re already using day in and day out.

The wait is over: Prospect for Oculus Quest is here!

Virtual reality has become an invaluable tool for VDC and pre-construction teams because it allows you to review spaces - and clashes - in true 1:1 scale. But it’s equally important to document what’s found during these meetings so that everyone is on the same page when the meeting ends.

This month, we're putting the spotlight on Fallon Carroll, our Executive Assistant & Operations Manager. Fallon talks about her what drew her to IrisVR, where in the Harry Potter universe she’d love to go in VR, and why autumn is her absolute favorite time of year.

Our friends at Robert A.M. Stern Architects (aka RAMSA) have contributed this guest post - it details their precise workflow in Photoshop, Revit, and Rhino for creating realistic water in VR.

Anglian Water’s @One Alliance is a collaborative organization of consultants and contractors working together to deliver more than half of Anglian Water’s capital investment program. Together they design and construct water and water recycling (waste water) treatment centers that serve more than six million people in the East of England (and Hartlepool Water) and maintain and improve the water mains and the sewerage network in the region.

Case Study Highlights:

• Reed Hilderbrand was a pioneer firm in using VR as a tool to improve how they visualize and explore projects. 

• They knew VR could provide a more accurate sense of scale and depth, giving them a better understanding of topography, planting, and more.

Virtual reality - the AEC industry’s newest design tool - is making an impact in workflows around the globe, and the use of virtual reality in architecture has steadily increased over the past few years. Check out how this British firm, BB+C Architects, is using VR in their meetings to bring 2D drawings to life and increase spatial awareness at various stages of the design process.
