Virtual reality is a startling design idea that has shown to be helpful outside of the context of games and entertainment.
Most likely, when you think about donning a virtual reality headset, you envision yourself in some futuristic, action-packed scene. But it goes far deeper than that. As the technology underlying VR has developed, it has become a handy tool for businesses looking to build products. In consequence, technology like Oculus has quickly changed the game for freelance designers looking to create their concepts.
A variety of applications is available for creating items and virtualizing designs, from sculpting to animating. The most well-known is Gravity Sketch, an application that uses virtual reality to generate its modeling environment and allows users to work alone or with other designers. The second is Oculus Medium, which is essentially an infinite virtual reality canvas on which users may digitally construct. It goes further than that. Applications for animators include Quill, which focuses on sketching and painting features, and Tvori, which offers a 3D environment for animating with real-time and keyframe animation tools.
Virtual reality takes the place of the blue foam prototype that designers make. An immersive experience that simulates how it will be in real life has taken its place. When developing physically massive things that cost more to develop, this is especially helpful. Additionally, it implies that design evaluations and product sharing may all take place without actual prototypes, which is tremendously helpful during a pandemic when social isolation is required.
That’s the lowdown on product creation and virtual reality, a combination that’s upending the industry for small businesses, studios, and multinational corporations alike. Even so, it can be challenging to fathom, so we’ve gathered five designers that have embraced technology, embraced gadgets, and are utilizing virtual reality to create the future of design.
@nickpbaker Nicholas Baker
This industrial designer from Brooklyn is a dedicated Gravity Sketcher. The software is used by Nicholas Baker to give his daily posted designs life. He also broadcasts live sketching performances like the one shown above, which exemplify the power of virtual reality by enhancing the experience in the actual location.
Fed Rios, @fedriosdesign
Additionally, the next enthusiast for virtual reality who is passionate about visual storytelling and form creation is Fed Rios. Rios, who is based in California, routinely uses Gravity Sketch and the Oculus VR headset to experiment with form concepts. Here, you can watch him making his office chair design come to life by uploading it and setting it up in the computerized workstation.
@joey Khamis design, Joey Khamis
Also, Joey Khamis offers a first-person perspective in his videos, which depict what it’s like to use a VR headset. Khamis, a footwear designer for Reebok, uses Gravity Sketch to model each component of his designs until the prototype is ready.
@csavenables Christian Venables
Moreover, Christian Venables, a VR artist, and developer, is the next. He creates free-form concepts like this one using mixed reality software. His creations serve as examples of the degree of user control and the capability of technology to realize complicated shapes.
At @sterling Osment, Sterling Osment
Furthermore, check out Sterling Osment, who uses virtual reality to bring sci-fi ideas to life, for anything futuristic. His creations incorporate cutting-edge gaming technology and visual effects to produce complex spaceship designs and alien species.
