Virtual reality lab

Advanced visualisation and computation to make the environment and the experimental control as natural as possible.

The lab is designed to make the environment as natural as possible while allowing experimental control. It includes a significant upgrade in both visualisation and computational fields.

Our equipment

Virtual Reality

Including a set of 3D glasses, special helmet devices, a high-end 3D projector, and a Kinect based sensor system. The developed applications combine BIM, Unity 3D computer game engine, and  3D projector/helmet/glasses allowing users to immerse themselves in a 3D virtual environment to  “feel” the building or infrastructure and explore design alternatives.

Building Information Modelling based Integrated Project Delivery

This utilizes a 92” high quality multi-touch wall and supporting computing infrastructure to provide 3D/nD Building Information Modelling (BIM) based Integrated Project Delivery using universal shared single model for building / infrastructure. The solution supports delivery teams working at any stage during a building / infrastructure life cycle, when clients, contractors, designers and other stakeholder come together to finalize the design, refurbishing or construction conceptual model via the interactive communication with the digital models.
