Document Summary
Immersive virtual reality (vr) is an extremely effective means for non-designers to understand and interact with designed environments. Some aspects of vr are technical and require a high level of expertise, however the user experience is highly accessible and completely immersive. No training or preparation is needed for users to experience the vr space in ways that are very close to reality; users immediately grasp scale, circulation, view lines and understand how others occupy the space. Vrdl focuses on two interdependant areas of research and development - emerging technologies and emerging applications in design practice. Both areas strive to tap the potential of vr to improve design processes, facilitate user expertise and explore other ways to leverage. Currently the vrdl team is exploring the application of vr for healthcare design through partnerships with architecture firms and major healthcare providers and is constantly expanding the technological capabilities to better support the applications in design disciplines.
