How to create architectural VR walkthroughs with online tools, Pt. 1: Sketchfab

Virtual Reality (VR) has so much potential when it comes to communicating architecture and conveying the beauty of your designs in an immersive, jaw-dropping format.

In this video above, we show an easy, step-by-step method to create a VR walkthrough of a residential home design using SketchUp, Lumion and Sketchfab, a 3D model sharing website. With the addition of a VR headset, you can immerse yourself and others into the center of your design and heighten the feeling of space and dimension.
