Massive development of computer technologies brings new incredible possibilities in interactive visualization. As we want our clients to be successful and up-to-date we have introduced the latest type of visualization - interactive virtual walk.
What is virtual walk?
In simple words virtual walk is a trip through spaces created by us in a
totally free manner. It means that every user can walk freely in entire visualized
space using keyboard and mouse. It means you can fluently move in the whole area of the
project and explore all elements from different angles and from any possible perspective.
Whole experience of the space depends entirely on you and your choices.
What are advantages of virtual walk in comparison with classical visualization?
Apart from being photorealistic, classical and static visualizations have got some serious disadvantages:
- Precise depiction of building constructions requires big number of views which are difficult to join in one complex picture. Also creating a large number of images increases the final price.
- To present as many elements in one view as possible, the spaces are often depicted from a very unnatural perspectives for the human eye such as bird's eye view perspective. Looking from this point it is very difficult to image how the building looks from the human eye perspective.
- Static views can't give the impression of depth and perspective when moving, they can't give the feeling of being within the space and moving within it.
- Static visualizations are very common and clients don't spend too much time on them, as they are not so engaging.
On the other hand virtual walk has much more to offer. This technique allows the following:
- depicting your offer in a unique and interesting way
- showing your clients every possible aspect/place/angle/perspective chosen by the customer
- totally free movement in the virtual world
- showing all tiny details which can't always be shown in static visualizations
- providing real experience of space of the depicted building
- taking pictures yourself from any possible angle or view
Virtual walk is available as easy to run computer programme. The programme usually takes about 10-30MB
and it can be embedded on your website or distributed on CDs, memory sticks, or used on your computer in
the office to present your offer to the customers.
Virtual walk is created in a similar way to the classic static visualization, so we need the
same type of materials to create it, such as: architectural plans, materials descriptions and colours of walls,
elevations, etc. In the case of interiors we also need information on furniture and its colours.
The virtual walk technology is still being developed so every now and again new
exciting features become available, so get ready for even more soon.
