Nucor Building Systems’ District Sales Managers Trey Fox and Rob Simpson recently visited S. C. Hondros & Associates, Inc. to demonstrate their virtual reality presentation capabilities. Virtual reality provides a better sense of scale than on-screen and paper models, and impacts the way developers, contractors, sales people and clients interact with their building. Nucor Building Systems (NBS) generates a 3D model when quoting a project. These models can then be imported into 3D rendering programs like SketchUp or Oculus Rift to create a real-world experience before a building is even built. Using Oculus, a holographic model allows the viewer to virtually walk through a building and get multiple vantage points. As an Authorized Builder for NBS, S. C. Hondros & Associates, Inc. is able to provide an economical building solution for a multitude of end uses. This added capability allows users to fully understand their building before it is out of the ground.
