History of AEC Visualization

Headsets/Oculus/VR Labs Model creation Intermediary Liquefaction Interaction mediums legacy Revit 3Ds Max Showcase Keyboard/Mouse gaming/virtual reality Unity 3D SketchUp Controllers Revizto Web/Mobile Devices AutoCAD Navisworks Fuzor Headsets/Oculus/VR Labs Augmented reality SmartReality

Legacy: Real-time rendering and visualization tool Showcase Legacy: Real-time rendering and visualization tool Review design iterations Designed for engineers, with Revit capabilities Part of the Autodesk family Rendering and animation focused A360 web viewing and sharing Blurring the line between legacy and liquid Unity 3D Revizto Fuzor SmartReality

Gaming/Virtual Reality: 3D engine and development platform Showcase Gaming/Virtual Reality: 3D engine and development platform Customizable; Unity Asset Store Full control over environment, lighting and materials Multi-platform compatibility Manual model export/import Javascripting/coding required Time/effort intensive Personal edition: FREE Unity 3D Revizto Fuzor SmartReality

Gaming/Virtual Reality: Converts design models into Unity environments Showcase Gaming/Virtual Reality: Converts design models into Unity environments Streamlines BIM to Unity process Multi-platform compatibility Commercially available; fast and easy to use; viewer focused Less control over environment, lighting and materials; baking Purpose built; WYSIWYG $450/year Unity 3D Revizto Fuzor SmartReality

Bi-directional; Revit <> Fuzor View design iterations on the fly Showcase Gaming/Virtual Reality: Connects design models and interactive environments Bi-directional; Revit <> Fuzor View design iterations on the fly Real-time physics, environment and lighting; no baking needed Power User focused; ‘platform’ focused Fuzor mobile viewer for client interaction; locked down $3,250/year Unity 3D Revizto Fuzor SmartReality
