Using Virtual Reality (VR) in Interior Design Visualization

Abstract

The application of Virtual Reality (VR) in interior design visualization is redefining how spaces are conceptualized, experienced, and executed. This research investigates the integration of VR technologies in the interior design process, focusing on their ability to provide immersive, interactive, and realistic visualizations of spatial designs. By enabling clients and designers to explore virtual representations of proposed interiors, VR enhances communication, facilitates iterative design adjustments, and reduces the risk of costly post-construction changes. The study examines the technological underpinnings of VR, such as real-time rendering, 3D modeling, and haptic feedback, alongside their implications for design creativity, client satisfaction, and project efficiency. Furthermore, it addresses the potential of VR to democratize design by making sophisticated visualization tools accessible to a broader audience. Challenges such as the learning curve, technological costs, and integration into traditional workflows are also analyzed. This research contributes to the evolving discourse on digital transformation in design, emphasizing VR's role in bridging the gap between conceptualization and realization, and fostering a more dynamic and collaborative design environment.
