Communicating Ideas by Previewing Reality
The exchange of ideas and concepts is a major part of any large modern building project. Architects, investors, general and sub-contractors all use different tools to evaluate a design, ranging from renders to fly-throughs or 2D drawings. This can lead to communication difficulties. Reynaers discovered that by placing collaborators from different disciplines into its Avalon virtual reality room, the fog of misunderstandings evaporates. As visitors literally step inside and experience a 3D visualization of architectural models, they imagine together what the end result will look like and can make decisions on the spot.

The exchange of ideas and concepts is a major part of any large modern building project. Architects, investors, general contractors and sub-contractors all use different tools to form both mental and modeled images of what the end result will look like. When some parties rely on renders or fly-throughs and others use 2D drawings, it can lead to communication difficulties. Reynaers discovered that by placing collaborators from different disciplines into the medium of a shared VR-space, the fog of misunderstandings evaporates and difficult decisions can be made on the spot.
