VIEW FROM THE PRECIPICE - RON SWIDLER, THE GETTYS GROUP

Gettys + VR for NVIDIA Pro VR Summit 2016

“…a strange and beautiful object

that we call an idea.”

How do we presently

share our strange and

beautiful ideas?

Phases:

Concept…buy-in

Design Development…approval

Pricing…funding

Revisions/Const. Docs…sign-off

Building…const. admin.

BENEFITS OF PRO VR FOR AEC WORKFLOWS

Better informed decision making during design

Large structures - difficult to get true sense of scale on computer monitors

Optimize building and structure design

Iterate more effectively on material and lighting decisions

Enhance building walk-throughs by replicating life-size spacious interiors – airports, hotel lobbies, stadia …

Assist client perception and facilitate feedback in DD phase

During CD phase, facilitate contractor discussions and more accurate estimating

Intuitive spatial understanding aids facility planning, virtual construction rehearsal, safety training

FLEXIBLE VIEWPOINTS


Ability to view CAD models from every direction helps accelerate design workflow

Different perspectives inside model reveal impact of lighting and material changes

Immersion in model enhances design understanding for clients

Digital rehearsals – saves time, lowers cost, improves safety

Natural interaction – makes walk-throughs more real, especially for non-experts

View hidden components in or behind walls or floors with AR, see how changes affect the original design

57

EFFICIENT COLLABORATION


Resolve design issues more quickly by working in a common immersive environment

Opens up new perspectives, helping drive innovation

Interactive space planning – move furniture, equipment, assembly lines on the fly, before anything is built

Remote location viewing, reducing travel time and cost

AR adds schematic overlays to maintenance/service, remodels

During construction, virtually monitoring variance (timeline, structural) between plan and actual

58

PROFESSIONAL PROSUMER

VR CONTENT CREATION & VIEWING WORKFLOW

Plug-in to design software tool (eg. Revit)

Little time needed for implementation

Direct connection with Revit

Export data > post-process geometry > post-production > VR scene

Requires days or weeks for highly complex scenes

Mostly no direct connection to design tool

Behaving like the physical world

Iterate quickly to optimize the design

Avoid surprises

Early detection of errors

NVIDIA Iray brings VR to real-world industries. Iray, which simulates the physical behavior of light and materials so designers can work with photorealistic models, is now coming to VR. With Iray VR, we can achieve a level of photorealism that will bring virtual reality to more and more real-world applications, from how products, cars and buildings are designed, built and bought, to how people communicate with each other across vast distances.

“Providing customers with a high-fidelity VR experience during

design review allows them to realistically visualize and make

informed decisions, which can prevent costly design changes

after construction has started. With NVIDIA Quadro driving VR

at high frame rates, the VR Ready MSI laptop lets us bring

virtual reality to our clients’ locations and communicate

designs more effectively.”
