Making a Virtual Reality environment
for Porter Davis: Home Builders & House Designs Melbourne, Autraslia.

FEATURE

Design project partner with Porter Davis. Virtual Reality(VR) environment will be compatible with the Google Daydream headset. To let home buyers go on a tout of various houses and see how the materials look when applied and make the process of visiting sample houses easier for home buyers. The application is use for the first-time home buyer of five-time winner of the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) Australia’s Most Professional Builder award company Porter Davis.

The Solution

We have conducted an in-depth research study on how the user’s eye travels and follows visual stimuli in a 3D space.

• Based on our findings, we have decided to implement multiple teleportation locations within the map to facilitate travel across the environment.

• The main settings screen is conveniently located right in front of the user when using the controller, which helps to reduce user time and provides a streamlined experience. Additionally, this approach helps to make the environment less heavy during the download process, ensuring a smoother interaction overall.

The Problem

With a small team and a short deadline, the team must make all textures realistic and fix all the code to make it possible.

• We also have to consider the phone's capacity when running user testing. The application lead to some problems if there too much 3D detail in a scene.

• The VR environment interacts differently than a regular screen, so the team needs to study user behavior in 3D.

The VR showing the customer the detail information and the pros and cons of using them. After seeing those people can know how will those material and color look like if those apply to the house. This way help the first time home buyer to reduce the time  to research and choose material which fit to their need and money. 

Simple and easy to interact design interface and button. The main feature is the 3D overview of the house and changing and seeing the detailed information of the materials while calculating the price they need to build the house. All the interactions are happening in a 3D environment make it challenging when designing the interface and research how the user is will react. When design we have to focus on the 3D environment and research how the user can interact with the material and move aaround the house with ease.
