The project
A project using Virtual Reality (VR) to showcase home designs.
The innovation
After an initial feasibility study, CSIC funded Norscot to create an initial prototype of a virtual reality product to better showcase their house designs and allow greater client input within the design stages of a build project.
The outcome
The research findings of the CSIC project were published in an academic journal, detailing the integration of open BIM with VR. This led to follow-on support through Innovate UK’s KTP Programme for the development of the VR virtual showroom to be market ready.
The overall project is projected to help Norscot increase revenue by £1.8m, a 33% growth over 5 years. This project showed how a key rural business can employ innovative digital technology to benefit its business and sector.
