The Next Frontier in BIM: Virtual Reality in Architecture
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Among the greatest
challenges facing architects is conveying the look and feel of a
project to a client. Simply put, traditional illustration practices
are seldom as convincing as they need to be.

In working with many of the top architectural firms in the Midwest, we
understand there are typically 10 to 20 aspects of a finished project
that are different than a client had in mind. A virtual reality (VR)
simulation of a 3D model can prevent such issues. In VR, the client
occupies real space, walking wherever they want within the model.
PocketCake can convert a 3D model into a stunning VR simulation in as
little as 24 hours.
By using VRSCA, a mobile workstation by PocketCake, the architect and
client can be immersed in a model at the same time, with the architect
acting as a guide, pointing out potential problem areas or toggling
between interior and exterior layouts.
VRSCA is optimized for frame rate frequency, capable of processing a
simulation three times faster than any high-performance laptop, which
can lag or overheat. VRSCA has all the power of a workstation at a
fraction of the size, allowing you to easily and conveniently take VR
to the client.
VRSCA also comes equipped with a remote hosting feature, in which
multiple people can experience a virtual simulation across different
locations, and a controller for navigation and changing spawn points
and lighting effects within the virtual environment.
