Abstract

The work presented in this paper aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) technology at presenting architectural design during the client design review stages of a construction project. A live project from UK House Building Sector was adopted for the evaluation. The work identified a suitable case study, created a 3D model, formulated a presentation strategy for the design review of the architectural design and conducted a qualitative/quantitative evaluation of the VR technology. The results showed VR technology to be highly effective as a tool for presenting architectural design; appropriately conveying the spatial dimension, contextual information and realism of the architectural design to the clients.
