You will get to hear about the exciting ways that VR is bringing the centuries old field of architecture to new innovative heights. From the first break of ground to the final finishing touches, virtual reality allows us to walk around in an impending structure and view every detail from ceiling to floor, wall to wall, and all the spaces in between.

This innovation puts professionals on the fast track to engaging with industry trends, but also greatly improves efficiency in practical matters such as reviews and approvals through the build cycle. Furthermore, redesigns are faster than ever with this new VR + AR technology.
