SCALE
BENEFITS OF PRO VR FOR AEC WORKFLOWS
Better informed decision making during design
Large structures - difficult to get true sense of scale on
computer monitors
Optimize building and structure design
Iterate more effectively on material and lighting decisions
Enhance building walk-throughs by replicating life-size
spacious interiors – airports, hotel lobbies, stadia …
Assist client perception and facilitate feedback in DD
phase
During CD phase, facilitate contractor discussions and
more accurate estimating
Intuitive spatial understanding aids facility planning,
virtual construction rehearsal, safety training

FLEXIBLE
VIEWPOINTS
BENEFITS OF PRO VR FOR AEC WORKFLOWS
Ability to view CAD models from every direction helps
accelerate design workflow
Different perspectives inside model reveal impact of
lighting and material changes
Immersion in model enhances design understanding for
clients
Digital rehearsals – saves time, lowers cost, improves
safety
Natural interaction – makes walk-throughs more real,
especially for non-experts
View hidden components in or behind walls or floors with
AR, see how changes affect the original design

57. 57
EFFICIENT
COLLABORATION
BENEFITS OF PRO VR FOR AEC WORKFLOWS
Resolve design issues more quickly by working in a
common immersive environment
Opens up new perspectives, helping drive innovation
Interactive space planning – move furniture, equipment,
assembly lines on the fly, before anything is built
Remote location viewing, reducing travel time and cost
AR adds schematic overlays to maintenance/service,
remodels
During construction, virtually monitoring variance
(timeline, structural) between plan and actual

VR CONTENT CREATION & VIEWING WORKFLOW
Plug-in to design software tool (eg.
Revit)
Little time needed for implementation
Direct connection with Revit
Export data > post-process geometry > post-
production > VR scene
Requires days or weeks for highly complex
scenes
Mostly no direct connection to design tool

NVIDIA Iray brings VR to real-world industries.
Iray, which simulates the physical behavior of
light and materials so designers can work with
photorealistic models, is now coming to VR.
With Iray VR, we can achieve a level of
photorealism that will bring virtual reality to
more and more real-world applications, from
how products, cars and buildings are designed,
built and bought, to how people communicate
with each other across vast distances.

“Providing customers with a high-fidelity VR experience during
design review allows them to realistically visualize and make
informed decisions, which can prevent costly design changes
after construction has started. With NVIDIA Quadro driving VR
at high frame rates, the VR Ready MSI laptop lets us bring
virtual reality to our clients’ locations and communicate
designs more effectively.”
