InsiteVR<\/a>, the AEC virtual reality meeting software announced a new product today,\u00a0Resolve<\/a>,\u00a0to further enable large construction projects to review building information models (BIM) on the Oculus Quest. Resolve introduces a new model loading engine,\u00a0making it the first commercially available solution capable of opening complex building models with hundreds of millions of polygons on the wireless Oculus Quest virtual reality headset.<\/p>\n

Resolve provides a collaborative virtual environment for teams to review and interact with building models at full scale \u2013 decreasing the number of expensive field errors and late-stage changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Resolve Introduces a New Model Loading Engine for Standalone VR Devices<\/h2>\n

Resolve is made possible by a proprietary model loading engine, built in-house. The custom engine can take an arbitrarily complex BIM model and\u00a0programmatically\u00a0render high detail content in your field of view while managing the hardware constraints of the Oculus Quest. For maximum comfort and ease of use, Resolve does not rely on a connection to a computer or video stream.<\/p>\n

\u201cResolve harnesses the power of intelligent building models, standalone VR, and cloud connectivity to enable teams to review multi-million dollar construction projects on a\u00a0$400\u00a0wireless VR device. It\u2019s the first of its\u00a0kind,\u201d says\u00a0Angel Say<\/strong>, CEO of InsiteVR. \u201cThe Quest accounts for over 50% of usage in our software today despite its limitations. Resolve focuses on enabling AEC teams to integrate accessible VR devices like Quest into their risk mitigation strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Resolve Removes a Critical Barrier to Entry for AEC Teams<\/h2>\n

Traditionally teams interested in using the Oculus Quest have had to dedicate hours to manually sectioning and simplifying complex models. Resolve enables teams to continuously review projects in VR without worrying about model size. With just a few\u00a0clicks,\u00a0teams can virtually review their project together, from anywhere in the world, with no extra work.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore everyone started working from home, we were already seeing a surge in meetings due to the ease of use of the new Oculus Quest,\u201d says\u00a0Russell Varriale<\/strong>, COO of InsiteVR. \u201cTeams seeing the largest ROI from VR meetings have been those where each participant exclusively uses a wireless headset to join a group VR review. That\u2019s really only possible with the Oculus Quest. Resolve unlocks this same ROI for the rest of the industry, no matter the project size.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers with beta access to Resolve have opened files ranging from 1.6 GB Navisworks files to 10 GB Revit files on the Quest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Complexity of VR Collaboration<\/h2>\n

Buildings contain a multitude of systems spanning mechanical, electrical, structural, and architectural designs which require careful coordination to ensure construction is completed on time and within budget. To prevent mistakes on the jobsite, teams have turned to VR meetings to review BIM together before anything is built.<\/p>\n

Recent InsiteVR case studies report teams saving upwards of\u00a0$7,000\u00a0for every hour spent reviewing together in VR before construction starts. Each participant joins the meeting using a wireless VR headset to review models together at full, human scale. With Resolve team design reviews don\u2019t have to rely on screen sharing or screenshots which can lead to miscommunication and wasted effort.<\/p>\n

Resolve provides teams meeting in VR with a suite of powerful tools including logging issues via speech-to-text, measuring, sketching, and inspecting BIM properties.<\/p>\n

Resolve Integrates Directly with Industry Collaboration Workflows<\/h2>\n

Resolve connects directly to Autodesk\u2019s Construction Cloud so teams can easily bring model data into VR and sync issues. Resolve can be used to review Revit, Navisworks, and 70 other file formats supported by BIM 360 Docs.<\/p>\n

Resolve is available in early access. Resolve is compatible with the Oculus Quest and has a PC companion app to see what others are seeing in VR. Project teams interested in trying Resolve can request access at\u00a0https:\/\/resolvebim.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
