The Future of VR in Architecture

VR can be a game changer in presenting building designs, but you need the right hardware. Dan Stine of LHB shares his secrets to achieving incredible renders.

Whether you’re talking about 3D renders or full VR, immersive experiences can bring building designs to life in ways that were simply never possible before. But those models aren’t going to render themselves—you need the right gear. LHB is an industry leader in their use of immersive design, from dedicated VR facilities in every office to laptop, desktop, and graphics card choices that give them the performance they need. Find out what it takes to bring designs to life with Design Technology Manager Dan Stine.
