New technology is making its mark on our industry, with virtual reality tools providing designers and manufacturers the ability to convey their ideas and concepts to their clients better than ever before. Vortek Spaces from Planit will bring your designs into reality to take your client on a journey through their new project, providing a greater connection with the design, and boosting their confidence in the finished result before the project has begun construction.
This new experience allows your clients to not only visualise, but immerse themselves within their new project before it has been built. Vortek Spaces will take you and your clients beyond CAD drawings, static renders and tiny colour swatches, to the feeling of being in their new room, with a live walk through and interactive colour changes.
Vortek Spaces is the most recent evolution in the range of virtual reality technology for presenting designs to clients. The Vortek Spaces application allows you to give clients a full visual 360-degree walk-through of a design, with the ability to choose colours and textures, and adjust lighting to give the most realistic result. Vortek Spaces is represented in Australia by Planit Cutting Edge Solutions, and integrates with their leading cabinet manufacturing software, Cabinet Vision Solid.
Vortek Spaces allows designers to showcase their projects and convey concepts in a revolutionary way, and features the flexibility to be presented on a variety of platforms. For example, Vortek Spaces can be shown live on a large screen in a showroom, a desktop or laptop computer, or tablet on site with a client.
In addition, the program allows you to record and upload regular or 360-degree videos for use on social media platforms, such as Facebook and YouTube. Customers can share their project with friends, or you can promote your designs via your company website.
As you take a client through their design, the technology gives you the ability to change colours and textures on every surface within the room. With an ever-growing library, Vortek Spaces gives you up-to-date choices from the latest trends in finishes. Clients can try multiple colour combinations to be confident in their choices and how your design concept will be completed in their home.
Designs can be brought into Vortek Spaces from both Cabinet Vision Solid and Sketch Up, giving fast integration between your drawing and an impressive, interactive presentation to your customer. Vortek Spaces is available as a convenient 3- or 12-month subscription, with an initial 15-day evaluation trial.
As this technology expands within our industry, solutions such as VR headsets and augmented reality will continue to provide greater tools to showcase our ideas and concepts. Virtual reality is set to become the new standard in design presentation.
