IrisVR News:
Earlier this month the IrisVR team was featured at the Oculus Connect event keynote. The event’s feature was announcing the new Oculus Quest headset. You can watch that here, learning about the Quest and seeing IrisVR in action.
Architosh isn’t commenting much about Oculus Quest today but the new headset is non-tethered, which will make it much more amazing for designers in MCAD and AEC industries. The device also makes a 3D map of its environment much like a point-cloud and then maps its location within this environment.
Back to IrisVR news, the award-winning company is touting how the @one Alliance used to create custom VR experiences in Unity and Unreal. Now they use Prospect to instantly go into VR, saving time and minimizing rework. This is a really great blog post because it is AEC-centric and designers and engineers need to understand how VR can change their daily workflows for problem-solving. You can read it here.
