A virtual reality system can comprise a virtual reality headset, one or more position tracking sensors, and a computerized architectural design environment. The position tracking sensors can identify a relative location of the user with respect to a physical space. The computerized architectural design environment can comprise a computer-implemented method for displaying a three-dimensional view of an architectural design to a user through the one or more virtual reality components. The method can comprise receiving a communication from the one or more position tracking sensors, rendering at least a portion of an architectural design file, and transmitting to the virtual reality headset the rendered portion of the architectural design file.

Virtual reality immersion with an architectural design software application

A computer system for creating architectural schematics within a mixed-reality environment generates, within an architectural design application, mixed-reality rendering data that visually describes one or more virtual architectural elements in relation to a real-world environment. The computer system transmits, to a mixed-reality device, the mixed-reality rendering data, wherein the mixed-reality device renders the mixed-reality rendering data within the real-world environment. The computer system also receives a command from a user directed towards a particular virtual architectural element. Additionally, the computer system constrains a scope of the command based upon an interaction between the virtual architectural element and the real-world environment.

Mixed-reality and CAD architectural design environment

A computer system for managing multiple distinct perspectives within a mixed-reality design environment loads a three-dimensional architectural model into memory. The three-dimensional architectural model is associated with a virtual coordinate system. The three-dimensional architectural model comprises at least one virtual object that is associated with an independently executable software object that comprises independent variables and functions that are specific to a particular architectural element that is represented by the at least one virtual object. The computer system associates the virtual coordinate system with a physical coordinate system within a real-world environment. The computer system transmits to each device of multiple different devices rendering information. The rendering information comprises three-dimensional image data for rendering the three-dimensional architectural model and coordinate information that maps the virtual coordinate system to the physical coordinate system.
