Virtual Environments for Architectural Education

red — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 08:49:39 +0000

New research in progress! – Watch our video on YouTube!

How can we use Virtual Worlds for Architectural Education?

This project will include a systematic research of projects using xR-Technologies for architectural education within the last five years. Application areas, technological chances and risks will be identified. The results will show which applications tend to be successful, technological feasible and applicable in the future. This research is planned to be published as a review paper in international scientific journals.

The current study is based on previous research published in IEEE proceedings from VS-Games 2019:

“The Role of Serious Gaming using Virtual Reality Applications for 3D Architectural Visualization” and “Game-Based Learning – Developing a Business Game for Interactive Architectural Visualization”.
