Perhaps you are in the market for a new condo, residential, or commercial development or renovation and you are trying to visualize what the space will look like. Given the financial investment in any new development or renovation it is crucial that people visualize exactly what they are buying before they sign on the dotted line. To solve that problem, Invent Dev has created 3D high definition interactive walkthroughs using their cutting edge technology.
The current offerings of blueprints, images, or videos have significant shortcomings. “I frequently hear how difficult it can be for buyers to truly understand the dimensions, colours, materials, finishes, and layout of a space using what’s available today” notes David Payne, CEO of Invent Dev Inc. “By actually walking around a virtual space, buyers can get a true sense of what the space looks like from any angle or viewpoint and can even customize it in real-time.”
Invent Dev’s technology has unique features that allow people to change the aesthetics of a space on the spot, which can help them decide on the finishes and look they want. They can also view a space at different times of day, getting a sense of different lighting conditions. “The possibilities are really endless. This is a new era of design visualization. Our walkthroughs will help people feel more confident about what they buy, as they will truly experience and understand what their new space will look like and how it will function” says Payne. As such, condo and commercial developers will find 3D virtual interactive walkthroughs key to their marketing and sales efforts as helping their clients visualize what a space will look like, including the finishes, will translate into more sales.
Invent Dev generates 3D walkthroughs from architecture design files and it’s walkthroughs can be experienced via laptops, tablets and even Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets. Payne notes that when people try Invent Dev’s walkthroughs on the Oculus Rift the experience is so realistic and immersive that people actually react and behave the way they would in a real environment. “For example, people who are afraid of heights are scared to venture out onto a condo balcony for fear of falling, even though they know they are in a virtual environment” says Payne.
Invent Dev is partnering with IIDEXCanada and Arch Daily to present the ArchDaily + IIDEXCanada Virtual Spaces Competition. This international competition aims to showcase avant-garde designs from both established and new architecture and design firms. A jury of international and highly sought out design professionals will be selecting winners who will be unveiled at IIDEXCanada 2015. Visitors can experience Invent Dev’s technology at IIDEXCanada 2014. To learn more about and to enter the ArchDaily + IIDEXCanada Virtual Spaces Competition visit www.iidexcanada.com.
