The role of cinematic 3D modeling in designing and evaluating the Virtual Reality Lab at the University of Twente

At: University of Twente

How can cinematic 3D modelling transform the way we design and evaluate academic spaces? This project investigates that question through the use of cinematic 3D modelling to redesign and relocate the virtual reality lab in the University of Twente. By creating interactive layouts in Unreal Engine, stakeholders were able to experience and critique the space before construction. The virtual models revealed practical issues that were addressed early in the design process. Employing a Research by Design methodology, the project demonstrated how visual immersion can enhance both the creative and evaluative phases of spatial planning.
