#43 Virtual Reality: transforming design

From new immersive technologies to life saving applications, virtual reality is finally meeting up to expectations of the 1990s and transforming the way that projects are designed. Its ability to improve visualisation of new and existing infrastructure is bringing many benefits, including some that users hadn’t anticipated as well as saving millions of pounds in prevention of expensive construction re-work. As VR takes off we talk to the pioneers who are proving that immersion in digital infrastructure is not a future technology but part of the new normal when it comes to the built environment. And as infrastructure is increasingly digitised, it offers a way through the looking glass into the world of the digital twin.
