Yulio VR Launches New Floorplan Navigation Feature

Yulio Technologies have announced the launch of their new Floorplan Navigation, which will enable users to add a floorplan later to their projects and link virtual reality (VR) scenes to points on the plan. This will allow for viewers of the floor plans to be able to become immersed within the viewing experience, providing greater content on how the floorplan looks and feels when built.

As Yulio’s technology is continuing to be used by the likes of architects, interior designers, construction firms, commercial furniture sellers and retailers, the new Floorplan Navigation will bring a new layer of functionally to their current and new client projects. Thanks to the companies technology, users are able to benefit from the near-instant creation of rich, detailed and immersive VR experience from 2D designs that have been created with any leading computer aided design program such as Sketchup, Revit, 3DS Max, and many more.

The launch of the new Floorplan Navigation feature offers designers the chance to link multiple scenes to a floorplan layer, giving viewers the option to explore complex projects with multiple scenes with ease. Viewers need only select one of the many dot points on a floorplan to be moved to that location and begin enjoying an enriched experience. This can be done with the users gaze in VR as well, meaning the whole project can be explored within a VR headset.

As projects created with Yulio’s Technology can be shared easily via web links and worked on in real-time thanks to Yulio’s cloud-based collaboration technology, the new feature goes hand-in-hand with their current production model and toolset.

By using the Floorplan Navigation feature to help with a project’s storytelling, designers will now find it easier than ever to tell complex stories and allow viewers to explore virtual spaces on their own without having to navigate them through multiple scenes or build custom locomotion systems. Once more, it offers a more immersive viewing experience, leveraging the power of VR to give viewers rich, detailed scene to explore.

The Floorplan Navigation feature is available now for all Yulio accounts including those on the 30-day free trial. Not long ago the company also launched their first VR focused interior design course as well, offering people to learn more about the uses of the technology within the field.

Architecture and Design App Yulio Viewer Launched for Oculus Go

One of the appealing things about the Oculus Go is its available library of over 1000 titles, since the device can draw upon much of the existing Samsung Gear VR library. Some developers are already taking advantage of the additional features offered by the Oculus Go, such as Yulio Technologies, who are launching its Yulio Viewer app on to Oculus Go.

The Yulio Viewer app is designed for architecture and design, letting users become immersed in realistic architecture and interior design virtual reality (VR) experiences.

Several experiences crafted by professional architects and design firms have been created using computer-aided design software such as 3DS Max, Revit and Sketchup. These experiences can be browsed on the Yulio Showcase website, and downloaded to the user’s Oculus Go to explore and absorb at leisure.

Rob Kendal, Managing Director at Yulio Technologies commented “The new Oculus Go headset is undoubtedly the best non-tethered experience I’ve seen and an ideal device for showrooms and presentations which are keys to business VR. We believed this would be the case and therefore worked closely with Oculus from very early on to make sure the Yulio Viewer app was the first in its field to launch on the Go Store. Our platform is designed to be ubiquitous and completely user friendly for all of our users. Ensuring it’s readily accessible on every device, both cutting edge and cardboard simple, is therefore very important.”

The Yulio Viewer app is free to download, with new design and architecture experiences being added to the website on a regular basis.

The Oculus Go has great potential for business use, which Oculus themselves have recognised and added the Oculus Go to its Oculus for Business subscription service. The Oculus Go has portability as an advantage over the Oculus Rift, which means company representatives can use it to show new designs or prototypes to clients more easily.
