You're facing unrealistic client demands in a VR project. How do you ensure quality delivery?

To manage unrealistic demand in Virtual reality project ,Keep everything clear with the clients what is possible what is not while giving them alternatives to the problem. Also do the research beforehand about the subject if not aware about it and convey that to client. All of this small steps sets expectation to manageable state and this shall be done before starting the project so that it will be delivered as a quality project. There can be few ups and down in development but those can be solved by having multiple alternative ready before hand and keeping clients in loop so that they will be able to understand the problem and alternative used.

Karen's are going to Karen, and you need to assign value to profit vs. making Karen happy. Sometimes it's worth cutting the chord. Often times it's beneficial to design Karen's dream. It's a fine line. Trust your instincts.

Keep everything clear with the clients what is possible what is not. Break down the project into essential features and prioritize them, focusing on delivering a minimum viable product first. Allocate resources efficiently and consider bringing in additional help if needed.

Start by having a transparent discussion with the client about the project scope and realistic timelines. Break down the project into essential features and prioritize them, focusing on delivering a minimum viable product first. Allocate resources efficiently and consider bringing in additional help if needed. Implement regular check-ins and progress updates to keep the client informed and manage expectations. Maintain a strong focus on quality by thoroughly testing each component before delivery. Balancing clear communication, prioritization, and rigorous quality control ensures a successful outcome.

Write the expectations spatially, preferably in a VR environment. Mix in with sora or MidJourney, to make sure you’ve captured as much of the essence as possible. Build VR in VR :)

It may also be helpful to itemize processes and technical aspects especially if the client doesn't understand technical jargon. Properly communicating the limitation of each of those steps with the client will save you a ton of hassles. It may be helpful to let the client explain what they think you're saying back to you so you can determine if there's a disconnect in communication.

Use as much spatial tools as possible. Stay away from flat screens as they are limiting. It’s like having access to a holographic God-view of the universe and you decide to be just a 3D person.

Sometimes, clients may not fully grasp the complexity of VR projects. Take the time to educate them about the technical aspects and development processes involved. This can help manage their expectations and foster a collaborative relationship.

Presenting similar case studies would be an idea way of doing this. Enabling clients to also think of anything that might be ommited in the overall experience.

Focus on the most critical features that deliver the highest value. Use a priority matrix to decide what needs to be done first and what can be postponed or dropped. This helps in delivering a functional product that meets the core requirements.

Ask them what they can’t do in 2d that they really need to do in 3D. Think of VR as adding an additional tech stack to your mobile + pc … now it’s mobile + pc + vr … it’s an additional surface.

This is another crucial step, the client sometimes expects that VR can do everything. The aim is here to identify what the "hook" should be for the user to entice them into the experience and relate to it. Whether it's a narrative or mechanic that conveys a message or the reason for the simulation. This should form the core part of the experience and then you'd work from there in terms of priority.

My company ALYvr.com does all preconstruction 720-degree panoramas with design options. There is no app and no software required. Static renderings are way outdated. If you invest in great 3-D visual tools decisions get made very quickly. Seeing design options live with decision-makers is the key to advancing the ball.

Create rooms in VR and have a spatial slack. You gotta use what you build :) Whenever possible build VR in VR, otherwise you’re just static reality, bend it (Beckham or not)

Keep the lines of communication open with your client. Regular updates on the progress, challenges, and changes help keep everyone on the same page and reduce the risk of misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations.

During a project lifestyle, things change, maybe a mechanic doesn't work and you need to look at other options. Maybe there needs to be a more detailed approach to the experience. The client must be involved at every milestone in the project.

Be vigilant about scope creep. Use change request forms to document any new requests and evaluate their impact on the project’s timeline and budget before agreeing to them. This helps in keeping the project within manageable limits.

First establish what is it that is unrealistic about the proposal. Then look at it in terms of the value proposition. Can it be broken into smaller chunks focussing on the greatest value in a more agile approach. It maybe possible to start seeing value by using an alternative stop-gap measure while the actual solution is being developed.

I agree that not only you should tell what's impossible, but offer several good option to chose from Exchanging as many references as possible for each request and keeping the communication clear is important here
