VR / Immersive Site Review

Currently, the evidence system has no native VR integration or immersive playback capability. The workflow represents a product opportunity: integrating the evidence system's 360° capture footage into VR headset environments for immersive remote site review.

Trigger, activity, conclusion

01 · Trigger

A senior stakeholder who is geographically remote needs to conduct a meaningful site review that goes beyond flat camera footage at a significant milestone where spatial understanding of the site is important.

02 · Activity

Loading a 360° or multi-camera site capture into a VR headset or immersive browser environment and conducting a simulated walkthrough of the site.

03 · Conclusion

The remote stakeholder completes the immersive site review, raises concerns for follow-up, and eliminates the need for a physical site visit.

Workflow steps

  1. Step 01

    A significant project milestone is identified where a physical site visit is not feasible for a key remote stakeholder.

    Inferred
  2. Step 02

    Site team conducts a 360° capture walkthrough of the relevant areas using the evidence system's 360° capture product.

    Inferred
  3. Step 03

    [Aspirational] 360° footage imported into a VR rendering environment (WebXR, Unity, or a construction VR tool such as IrisVR or Fuzor).

    Inferred
  4. Step 04

    [Aspirational] VR environment configured — navigation paths set, key areas annotated with issue markers or milestone labels.

    Inferred
  5. Step 05

    Remote stakeholder accesses the VR environment via headset or high-fidelity browser-based 3D viewer.

    Inferred
  6. Step 06

    [Aspirational] Stakeholder navigates through the site virtually — examining structural elements, spatial layouts, fitout progress, and construction quality.

    Inferred
  7. Step 07

    Stakeholder raises observations, marks up issues, or approves areas — annotations logged and exported as a review record.

    Inferred
  8. Step 08

    Review session concludes; report or issue log generated from VR annotations and shared with on-site team for action.

    Inferred
  9. Step 09

    Physical site visit eliminated or scoped down to address only the specific items raised during the VR review.

    Inferred

Evidence records

VR integration aspiration documented — the use of preserved footage within a VR environment for immersive remote site review — confirming this as a tracked product opportunity with at least one customer-facing conversation evidenced.
Anonymized evidence record 53.1
the evidence system's existing 360° capture capability provides the foundational data layer for this workflow; the gap is solely in immersive rendering and delivery, not in data capture.
Anonymized evidence record 53.2
Industry adoption of VR for design coordination and client review is growing in sectors including healthcare, aviation, and high-value commercial fitout — particularly where restricted access (live environments, operational facilities) makes physical walkthroughs impractical or expensive.

ROI model

Qualitative workflow

This workflow is currently represented as a qualitative benefit. A parametric cost model should be added only when the assumption set is credible.
