Near, Far, and in VR

Something amazing happened yesterday. We toured a project with a friend, walking from room to room, discussing design features, assessing daylighting, and even drawing on the walls. And neither of us was “there”!? We were in Seattle and our friend was in Sun Valley.

To explain: we’re beta testers for Iris VR software that enables architects and clients to experience VR together but in different “real” locations. It is part of our ongoing quest to make design more accessible and collaborative. Why is this a big deal? Because it means that we can work more ‘closely’ with clients, wherever they are.
