Name
ArchX: The Future of Architecture in Virtual and Mixed Reality
Date & Time
Saturday, October 11, 2025, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Description

The evolution of architecture is being revolutionized by immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). This session will explore how AR/VR/MR are transforming architectural design, construction, and collaboration, offering a glimpse into the future of the built environment. Attendees will gain insights into these technologies' historical development and current applications in architecture, engineering, and beyond. Through case studies of firms leveraging AR/VR, we will demonstrate how immersive environments enhance client engagement, improve design efficiency, and drive productivity. This interactive workshop will provide: A hands-on AR/VR software and hardware demonstration, including Unity, Unreal Engine, Autodesk, ArchiCAD, and Rhino. - An exploration of design principles and UX best practices for immersive experiences. - A collaborative design challenge where participants manipulate 3D models in real-time virtual environments. - Insights into future trends like real-time collaboration, haptic feedback, and AI-driven automation in AR/VR. The session will conclude with a Q&A and open discussion, offering attendees the opportunity to engage in dialogue about the future of AR/VR in architecture and construction. Whether you're a student, architect, or professional, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to implement AR/VR workflow and stay ahead in the digital transformation of architecture.
