Next week we are bringing the awe of construction walkthroughs and guided architecture tours to more people — all you need is a VR headset and internet.

Every building has a story, but unless you were part of the process or attend a design lecture we rarely hear these stories. That is why next week we will be hosting our first Immersive Project Showcase: a virtual reality event in which an architecture or construction professional will guide attendees through a virtual model of one of their projects. Unlike a webinar or lecture, attendees will be able to actually explore the space at full scale and have the architect by their side to answer questions.

Without leaving their desks, attendees will virtually join a guided tour by the architect themselves, and hear firsthand about the challenges, unique elements, and inspiration for the presented project. With VR, we have the opportunity to learn more about the buildings we inhabit and connect with those who dream them up and build them.
