Virtual Reality in Architecture: Challenges, Limitations, and Possibilities

Subscriber Access

Today, technology is an inherent part of producing urban space. Among the most innovative of these tools is Virtual Reality (VR), which transports users into a simulated reality, allowing them to experience unbuilt spaces first-hand. Its applications extend far beyond real estate marketing, however: current research encompasses design experimentation, the immersive experience of historical built environments, and the recreation of architectural elements through prototyping. This potential has been unlocked by technological advancements and falling hardware costs, making VR increasingly accessible to students, professionals, and the general public.
