Abstract

The fast development of technology is affecting all industries and causing changes in their operations. Expertise and access to information are now crucial for survival. The construction and architectural design industry is also seeing a lot of improvements due to technological advancements. Simple construction drawings and sketches are no longer sufficient. Architects are now using virtual models to tackle design issues. This paper aims to suggest a more effective VR tool for creating these virtual models during the design stage. The use of VR in architectural design has been studied, and it is believed that it can speed up the design process and improve learning and problem solving. Future results could allow designers to create more realistic designs, reduce energy loss, and address real-life problems. The paper is based on data and makes a proposal for the use of VR in architectural design.
