VR for Home Remodeling Projects
Remodeling a home requires many decisions, many of which are made without fully understanding how each decision will impact the final product. While design plans, illustrations, and models are helpful, VR-based tools can immerse stakeholders within the space – allowing them to experience each design decision firsthand.
THE PROJECT
The first step in this remodeling project was to design the kitchen using conventional 2D floor plans. Once the general layout was established, a series of 3D models were developed in Unity. The Unity scene was then exported to a Meta Quest, where we were able to experience, explore, and evaluate various design decisions from within the space. Once we had settled on a design we brought in a contractor, handed them the Quest, and let them see exactly what we wanted from our kitchen renovation. The ability to experience our vision ensured that everyone understood the project.
Virtual.
Understanding what you want from a home remodeling project and communicating it to a trade or contractor can be challenging. Architectural drawings and models are helpful, providing stakeholders with an overview of the project; however, it can be difficult to understand the structure of 3D spaces through 2D media. VR-based tools allow stakeholders to immerse themselves within 3D models, to experience and evaluate each design element, and to develop a true appreciation for the layout and features of a space by being present in it.
