Andreina's Summary

Federal judges in Mississipi have been trying to improve and define the design of a courtroom (judges benchcounsel tables, jury box, acustic, lights, etc) with the help of the technology, specifically the courtroom of Jackson, in order to avoid delays and elevated costs. Many people are involved in this project. There are many groups that contribute with their experience looking for the problems exposed by the judges. These groups with the guide of GSA ( General Services Administration) want to show the virtual reality advance with respects to a 2D drawings and plywood muck-ups, because now it is possible to fix some issues in the design before the construction of the building. Opinion: I think this is a very interesting way to see what the client wants before spending time and money because it permits to improve many things oin the design and explore many possibilities. I think that virtual reality and digital modeling can be used also in other projects, but in coordination with the other traditional tools and with competent professionals.
