How can you find the best VR content creation services for architectural visualization?

Archviz is a great place to make the best out of what VR has to offer. The potential of revenue generated and value addition is substantial for the content creators, service providers and end consumers. With the power of realistic visualization and spatial compute the archviz business takes a giant leap with the power of VR.

One thing I found helpful is looking at: "through the lenses" videos with added name of the device we want to use. Those videos show how the device looks truly, in contrast to how some marketing videos are made in video-editing software and not with use of real product.

In my experience a lot of companies provide free demo of their software. I would schedule a call too see what i like and dislike about specific product.

Content creation for archviz requires a wider gamut of tool and technical expertise where some of them are super niche. Having a deep understanding of cad, bim softwares, dcc tools including 3dsmax, Bentley , maya , cae/cfd tools for simulations and game engines for interaction layer are most of what’s needed. Understanding the potential usecases of VR and knowing the current gaps and challenges and the knack to solve them using VR is something that could be acquired by working on live projects. Using VR for pre visualization, gemba walks during construction, lighting study, environmental study , post completion of the project using the floor plan for interior design are some of the areas where companies are offering solutions,

Whats super important is to build a virtual twin of the real world which is a 1:1 replica in terms of scale, looks realistic, obeys the laws of Newtonian physics. This provides the perfect twin which can be used for several consumer driven usecases. The space can be creatively used for solving several gaps that an end user goes thru while buying a real estate, doing interior design and plan their purchases.

Type of content ; the content can be in full 3D, stereoscopic 360 non interactive video, monoscopic 360 video; the decision can be based on what the end user goal is In device deployment vs cloud streaming : This is something we should be able to decide once we learn the complexity and refreshness rate of the content Single user vs multiuser Based on user experience and needs the choice can be made. For interior design and house planing a multiuser experience can provide multitudes of benefits
