With the virtual reality app from DIRTT multiple users can walk through a construction project together before it’s built.
ICEreality is built on the DIRTT ICE software, a BIM tool that captures material, pricing, engineering, manufacturing and installation information for every aspect of an interior construction project. The ICEreality app takes that functionality and blends it into a social, mobile and virtual reality world that mirrors the ICE design file.
When linked with an ICE software design file, an iPhone running ICEreality becomes a VR viewer into the connected file. Multiple users check out their space in VR at the same time from their own mobile devices, walking through their construction project together before it’s built.
The experience inspires conversations and allows people to see, modify and evaluate their environment. Changes to the design can be made on the spot within ICE itself as the user explores the VR version of the space. Simultaneously, those changes alter the VR world to match visually and with all backend data including pricing.
ICEreality is available on the App Store and is compatible with iPhone 6s or newer, running iOS11. Users without a connection to DIRTT ICE software can explore the pre-loaded DIRTT timber frame demo file in the app. For the full experience with ICE software, contact your local DIRTT team and try it in person.
