What is IrisVR Prospect?
IrisVR Prospect is a virtual reality software designed specifically for architects, engineers, and designers to view and collaborate on 3D CAD models and walkthroughs. With Prospect, users can import Revit and Sketchup files and instantly view them in virtual reality using an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset.
Key features of Prospect include:
- Intuitive navigation allows smooth walkthroughs of VR environments using teleportation or joystick movement
- Multiplayer mode enables geographically distributed teams to collaborate real-time in the same virtual space
- Annotation tools let users leave comments and markups anchored to locations in the VR model
- Screen sharing mirrors what VR users see to desktop and mobile devices for broader team participation
- heatmap overlay shows what parts of the model users viewed most in aggregate VR sessions
By allowing architects, construction teams, and stakeholders to evaluate designs in lifesize scale as immersive VR walkthroughs, IrisVR Prospect facilitates early design validation, saves costs from late-stage design changes, and accelerates approval cycles for construction.
