Full-Scale Virtual Walkthrough
Application
Literally walk through your architectural designs in full scale and experience a stunning sense of your space in 3D. WorldViz provides a complete solution for creating, visualizing, and experiencing the content you sell to your clients before construction begins.
How it Works
Wearing only a head-mounted display (HMD), clients are immersed in 3D stereoscopic virtual worlds and free to walk and explore naturally. A dedicated tracking system synchronizes movement in the real world with movement in the virtual world. Thus, users can walk freely and interact with the virtual world. Vizard VR Software Toolkit provides the platform for creating interactive visualizations. Through a simple workflow, architects can convert 3D models into full-scale immersive simulations.
Benefits
 |
Feel the full size and experience the aesthetics of architectural designs. Gain a sense of absolute scale and situational awareness superior to pre-rendered movies or desktop monitor presentations. |
|
Evaluate structural and interior design options before construction. |
|
Amplify users' movements to explore large virtual areas in small physical spaces. Teleport users from one virtual room to another. |
|
Compare interior finishes by dynamically changing options with a button click (flooring, furniture, etc.). |
|
Impress clients with cutting-edge demonstrations they will never forget. |
System Components
|
Head Tracking, PPT-X: PPT lets you roam around freely in virtual environments. The system feeds your position and orientation data to the image generator. Four cameras boast accurate data over 10 by 10 meters of walking space. Wider area solutions are available. |
|
3D Rendering, Vizard VR Software Toolkit: Instantly transform architectural designs into interactive virtual worlds with Vizard. Vizard comes loaded with plug-ins for all consumer available VR hardware peripherals to enhance your experience. |
|
Head-Mounted Display, nVisor SX: The nVisor SX presents a crisp stereo image of 1280x1024 pixels per eye and a field-of-view of 60 degrees. Other head-mounted displays, with varying technical specifications are available. |
|
Rendering Computer: Graphics rendering computers, customized to support your 3D rendering needs, are available from WorldViz. |
|
3D Architecture Model: While we favor 3D model creation in 3DS Max, any program that exports in .osg format is acceptable. WorldViz can help you create real-time ready architecture models or convert existing 3D content into a Vizard compatible file format. |
3 Step Art Workflow
| 1. |
Import 3D Models to 3DS Max
- Vizard software loads models in Open Scene Graph (.ive and .osg) file format.
- WorldViz recommends using Autodesk's 3D Studio Max Software to convert model designs into Open Scene Graph format
|
| 2. |
Optimize For Real-Time Use
- Real-time rendering requires attention to polygon count, texture memory usage, and lighting needs. Depending on user's available hardware, WorldViz can recommend asset guidelines for ensuring real-time capabilities.
- A 3D artist trained in 3D Studio Max can readily apply WorldViz guidelines for optimizing models for use in walk-through applications.
- WorldViz experts can be contracted to convert content or provide support for 3D artists.
|
| 3. |
Export 3D Models to Vizard
- Simple and fast export process.
- Model is now ready to render in 3D stereo for immersive Virtual Reality.
