Virtual Reality and Architecture

We are excited to announce E4H Healthcare Architect Mike Bennett, AIA, EDAC will be speaking at the 2016 New England Healthcare Engineers’ Society Fall Conference in Whitefield, NH!  He has teamed up with Ailyn Mendoza, Director of Architecture at Iris VR for a presentation titled, “Virtual Reality and the Design of Healthcare Environments.”

Bennett has used Virtual Reality (VR) during project delivery and is excited about its many applications in design and construction. He has found it has tremendous impact on client communications – clients no longer have to decipher complex plans or ‘try to imagine’ a space because they can actually visualize the 3D environment through VR.

The NEHES session seeks to provide a solid foundation for understanding of VR and will explore the various ways healthcare professionals and design teams can use VR during project delivery. The session will also connect attendees with real-world examples of the many applications of VR as demonstrated through a series of case studies.

Here is a quick video demonstrating the neat ways IrisVR is bringing virtual reality into architecture.
