Immersive technologies deliver big savings.

The transformation of traditional design review processes represents a golden opportunity for organization that seek to reduce their time to market and avoid project delays. Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies present a means of addressing these issues to improve the design review process.

Challenges

Traditional processes are time consuming.

The design review process is one of the major causes of project delays across a variety of industries, from automotive to Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC). XR technologies have become a must-have for organizations that want to increase collaboration and timely feedback for their projects. Extended reality solutions are critical tools that enable at scale visualizations, foster stakeholder participation and lead to incremental benefits.

2D drawings cause misunderstandings.

Product development processes are often still dependant on 2D drawings which are extremely hard to interpret and lead to avoidable mistakes and increased time to market. Therefore, future-proof companies have adopted VR solutions to visualize and interact with at scale 3D models in virtual worlds, generating tangible benefits for all stakeholders.

Slow design iteration.

Traditional design iteration processes are frustratingly slow. Making changes in real-time when dealing with big teams or clients is a significant challenge for designers, architects, and engineers. In this context, XR technologies provide the ability to communicate faster and make design changes live, unlocking major benefits across the organization.

Slow rendering process.

Rendering is a common pain point for designers, architects, and engineers. Commonly adopted solutions require you to export CAD or BIM models from Rhinoceros 3D, Autodesk Revit or Solidworks to create a rendering of your design. This outdated process causes significant wastes in valuable time and resources.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is the sector of the broader construction industry that focuses on the provision of services in architectural design, engineering design and construction services. Together, AEC represents the collaborative blend of architects, engineers, and construction professionals that work on residential, commercial, or industrial construction projects.

Design review is a milestone of the product development process, where the design of a project (building, product or otherwise) is assessed compared to its requirements. Its objectives include verifying undertaken activities and recognising issues, mistakes or other problems that could impact the product development. It is an essential component of the product development process, and it ultimately leads to the product release.

An architectural rendering is the process of creating three-dimensional images from a model through software programs. It serves the purpose of creating visual content to showcase the attributes of architectural projects for sales collateral, internal presentations and more. Renderings can be created via multiple techniques, although its final objective is to achieve photorealistic quality.

Rhinoceros 3D is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. It is a freeform surface modeler that enable users to create shapes with precision and detail. Rhinoceros 3D is based on free modelling using the NURBS mathematical model. Thanks to its open application architecture, many plug-ins have been developed for Rhinoceros 3D, including Vection Technologies’ Mindesk, to expand its capabilities in areas such as renderings, animations, engineering and more.

Autodesk Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for architects, engineers (structural and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP)) and contractors. Revit enables users to design projects, modify them and visualise 3D models in detail. It allows engineers and architects to insert building components including windows, doors and more within the project itself. As a 4D BIM tool, Autodesk Revit includes tools to plan and track multiple stages of building’s lifecycles, all the way to maintenance.

Solidworks is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software developed and commercialized by Dassault Systèmes. It is used for engineering design, from panning to creation, for mechanical, electrical, and software components. Solidworks is one of the most widespread CAD software in the market today, counting over three million users.

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated 3D environment that immerses the user inside of a virtual world. It replaces the computer screen with an immersive and interactive interface accessed using virtual reality wearable devices.

Augmented reality (AR) refers to the technology used to superimpose digital information within the real-life field of view of the user. Enterprise applications today include e-commerce, military, football games and many more.

Mixed reality (MR) combines the physical and the digital world so the user can interact with digital information without the use of screen-based devices. It empowers the user to have natural interaction with digital elements and the real-world environment.

Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term used to refer to virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR). It is often utilized as a replacement term for immersive technologies.

INTEGRATEDXR refers to the combination of Vection Technologies’ immersive solutions and services, that enable organizations to bridge the physical and virtual worlds. From virtual reality and augmented reality to mixed reality, Vection Technologies develops virtual applications that solve the challenges faced by businesses every day.

A virtual world is a computer-simulated environment. It allows users to navigate, communicate, and interact with 3D space around them. In order to interact with this 3D virtual world, users can use computer screens, tablets and smart phones or be completely immersed in the 3D environment via virtual reality headset.
