What is IrisVR?
IrisVR provides a sophisticated suite of immersive virtual reality tools specifically engineered for the AEC industry. By integrating seamlessly with industry-standard design software such as Revit, Rhino, and Navisworks, the platform facilitates real-time virtual walkthroughs and collaborative design reviews. This capability allows architects and engineers to identify spatial conflicts and design inefficiencies before physical construction begins, significantly reducing project overhead and improving stakeholder communication.
The company's technology is hardware-agnostic, supporting a wide array of VR headsets including the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. This flexibility ensures that IrisVR remains a versatile asset for firms looking to modernize their visualization pipelines and enhance project delivery through advanced digital twin integration.
