An innovative collaboration tool that achieves improved design quality in construction and architecture, as well as cost reduction.
The use of VR (Virtual Reality) in the construction and architectural design fields is advancing. When we think of VR, we often envision HMDs (Head Mounted Displays), but recently, the immersive display technology "Projection VR," which projects images onto a screen, has been gaining attention. With Projection VR, multiple users, including planners, designers, engineers, analysts, production technicians, maintenance personnel, and users, can simultaneously see each other's appearances and expressions while engaging in lively discussions and conversations, enabling smooth communication while using VR. Traditional floor plans and perspectives were insufficient for sharing the completed image, but by using 3D models, we can improve the accuracy of reviews during the design process, allowing stakeholders to examine the completed image in detail. This enables better design and planning, as well as the early identification of issues, promoting the front-loading of the design process. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information
What is Projection VR? "Projection VR" is an immersive display technology that projects VR images onto a screen. By installing screens that surround the user, it creates a visual space that covers the entire human field of view. Compared to VR using HMDs, it features an unprecedentedly overwhelming photorealistic VR world experience. Product Lineup ■ Large Single-Screen System POWERWALL ■ Three-Screen System CANVAS ■ Multi-Screen System CAVE ■ Others - Curved Display System - Dual-View Simultaneous Projection System (240Hz projection) - Rigiflex Screen (Rollable Hard Screen) - Various VR Projector Lineup *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Detailed information
-
By using multiple projectors to project images onto the front, back, left, and right walls, as well as the ceiling and floor, a more realistic immersive experience is created.

In the construction and architecture fields, the introduction of BIM/CIM is progressing, and an environment is being established where 3D model examinations can be easily conducted. Various VR solutions have been proposed for 3D model examinations, including the acquisition of three-dimensional point cloud data and the proliferation of 360° video recording tools, and the number of implementations is increasing. By conducting VR reviews during the design processes such as concept design, functional design, and component design, it becomes possible to reduce rework from the manufacturing stage.

Comparison of HMD and Projection VR 【HMD】 - Worn on the user's head for use - Primarily used by one person - Covers the field of vision and has cables, limiting free movement - Can be introduced at a low cost - Insufficient resolution (image quality) - Difficult to communicate as the other person's face is not visible - Concerns about the weight of the HMD and VR motion sickness 【Projection VR】 - Projects images onto a screen to display VR - Allows for simultaneous experiences for multiple people with large visuals - Lightweight, see-through specialized glasses enable users to see both the images and each other's appearances and expressions simultaneously - Less likely to cause VR motion sickness
