You walk through a modern industrial office, admiring the large ceiling-to-floor windows, exposed light brick, concrete floors, and clean wood desks. Skylights cast a warm soft glow, trees sway in the breeze outside the window. Then you take off the virtual-reality googles and resume your meeting.

By integrating 3D rendering and Immersive VR into the design process, the experience of designing, revising and building has been completely transformed.
