This thesis anticipates the emergence of virtual reality (VR) technology as an economical alternative to architectural presentation. As professionals, designers are trained to interpret two dimensional media spatially. Experience has shown that client (or user) interpretation of traditional media (two dimensional drawings and physical models) has led to discrepancy. Controlled two dimensional media may also serve as a seduction, often portraying unrealistic views. In the case of highly technical spaces, participatory design is a necessity. Successful communication of need and intent are critical to the overall success of the project in concept and in detailed design. The smallest error in communication may result in costly penalties, often at the expense of an architectural amenity or in material quality. This investigation attempts to eliminate the need for client translation by providing a more intuitive design environment via VR. The goal is to examine several types of environments/scenarios and to design an experiential/interactive envirorunent, three-dimensionally linking the user to the designer's solution and thought processes. Shared models will be posted over a network using VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language). The client will be able to use the model as a reference "book" by hyperlinked information attached to model geometry. Projects (not yet built) would be viewed at full scale (some in total immersion), from the same perspectives of their future reality i.e., allowing the client and designer to interact within the space during the design process. The intent is not to entirely recreate reality or to automate what is now performed manually, but to immediately express thought in a three dimensional world, enhancing collaboration and critique. The pursuit of this thesis is based on a theory which alters the conventional design-communication process to dynamically and positively impact the final product. Final data analysis will examine the process of creating and employing simulated environments for architecture, the pros/cons of implementing such a system, and the feasibility. The conclusion will recommend improving processes, systems, and the techniques employed for future "world building" of architectural space. As operating systems become more economical and simultaneously more powerful, computer modeling will enhance visualization. The design process approach will then turn from the "bird's eye/plan view" to the eye level perspective view. The model itself will evolve with the design as experiential scenes to ultimately be used as a design tool, as a communication tool, and perhaps finally as a resource --as cad and database information are linked today. --to be accessed throughout the project life cycle.

3D visualization in the field of architecture is an emerging discipline that has had a powerful impact on how architects present their work, especially with the use of the technology's ability to communicate ideas. However, the potential for what 3D software can do is still being realized in the architectural design process. Although a plethora of ways to communicate exists, certain possibilities in the virtual realm are not being capitalized on. Spatial awareness in digital architecture, especially of real world representation, is not being utilized to its fullest potential, just as client involvement and interaction in the virtual space is limited to static presentations. This project proposes an alternative approach to the current design process by presenting a system that will develop a stronger relationship between the client and the architectural designer. By drawing from aspects in other fields of 3D design, specifically video-games, the project lays the framework for a system to be used by architects to immerse their clients in a proposed architecture and encourages interaction from them within the virtual environment. The project uses programs such as 3Ds Max, Photoshop, and Flash, to develop content for an environment realized in the Unreal Engine using the Unreal Development Kit (UDK). The UDK environment demonstrates the system described in my thesis research. This system incorporates the client participation and experience in an imagined space to create a knowledgeable understanding of the architect's vision, thus developing a deeper understanding between parties' wants, needs, and approaches.

Virtual Reality (VR) is the paradigm wherein people use a computer to interact with something which is not real but provides a real-life experience. It is one of the most advanced interfaces between users and computers, where people can interact with a virtual model in real-time allowing them to visualize and manipulate representations of the real world. Together with Augmented Reality (AR), which adds layers of information to the real environment, VR is a powerful tool for designers and architects in the development of new responsive products, systems and built environments, that meets user's needs. VR and AR are tools that enhance design and architecture students' comprehension about complex and abstract concepts. Informative and accessible, this publication presents, analyses, and discusses the integration and use of Virtual and Augmented Reality within the process of planning, development and research for Design and Architecture. The book also presents case studies with multidisciplinary collaborative work. This book is meant for practitioners and academics alike, as it examines specific aspects related to the use of new technologies in the field of Architecture and Design, highlighting its application in areas such as education, heritage, research, and methodologies, bridging the gap between Architectural and Design abstraction and human requirements through technology.

Visualization techniques in architecture have been utilized as communication and design tools since antiquity. Traditional artist force interaction by creating familiarity within the art for an observer, by understanding and utilizing methods such as; line, shape, form, texture, and pattern and color to create a composition. Enhancing such techniques creates a more realistic and familiar understanding of images and space depicted within art. Art/Design in collaboration with modern technology advances, have resulted in Virtual Reality (VR) Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality. All of which are cutting edge approaches to immersion and interaction. Being a computer generated a form of visualization Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality are developing new methods to enhance one's understanding of design and spatial communication. Virtual Reality specifically offers a first-hand experience by placing its audience in an interactive virtual environment which familiarity is promoted to aid design exploration and visualization, the simulation that virtual reality creates can be abstract or very similar to the real world. Virtual Reality may be a tool that can promote and aid design and architectural exploration while also deepen our understanding of other practices. This thesis aims to explore how virtual reality can improve and build upon architectural visualization as a communication medium and design tool.

Um grande número de aplicações requer um sistema de visualização que proporcione múltiplas visões de um ambiente virtual animado. Uma solução natural é a disposição de múltiplos dispositivos de visualização ao redor de um usuário, de forma a compor uma vista panorâmica da cena. Em um arranjo mais elaborado, vistas panorâmicas do ambiente virtual, obtidas a partir de diferentes pontos de vista, são fornecidas simultaneamente a diferentes usuários. Cada cena panorâmica apresentada ao usuário é formada pela composição das imagens geradas em cada superfície de visualização. Desta forma, é possível imaginar cadadispositivo de visualização como sendo uma janela para o ambiente virtual. O uso desta tecnologia visa realçar a percepção humana e aumentar o grau de imersão dos usuários. Isto é alcançado através do aumento quantitativo dos estímulos visuais fornecidos, decorrente do uso de múltiplas janelas. Uma abordagem tradicional para o desenvolvimento de um sistema deste tipo ébaseada em sistemas especializados, que utilizam hardware dedicado, responsável pelo controle e processamento centralizado de todos os dispositivos de visualização. Este trabalho propõe uma arquitetura distribuída que proporcione maior escalabilidade, portabilidade e flexibilidade ao sistema de visualização utilizando uma rede heterogênea e estações gráficas de baixo custo. A arquitetura proposta objetiva dar suporte ao desenvolvimento de aplicações que apresentem um resultado visual consistente do ambiente virtual. Para isso, sãoapresentadas técnicas para garantir o sincronismo e a integridade entre as diversas estações.
