The virtual reality module enables the creation of virtual models from digital ones, with different degrees of immersion and interaction. Virtual models can be used for conveying solutions to clients, for studying the impact of large-scale architectural and urban interventions, for testing and experiment with innovative constructions techniques in a degree not allowed by physical and digital models. The big advantage of virtual reality is that the user can experience the built environment in a way that is closer to reality without actually having to build it.

The lab includes a desktop solution, and a room unit. The desktop solution can be used by a single user, and it allows only a small degree of immersion and user interaction with the environment, whereas the room unit can be used by several users at once and allows a higher degree of immersion.
