Abstract
With the growing advancements in technological prowess, it is important to consider an alternative to currentgen traditional solutions. One such case is the way architects visualize their projects using traditional software, such as Radiance and Rhino. Architects have been looking into ways to simulate light in VR. With that said, this paper provides an alternative view of visualizing such projects via the use of VR and game engines.
The paper goes into detail on what benefits VR can offer over traditional software, as well as provide a baseline application for creating, altering, and experiencing created 3D buildings.
