Designing the perfect home, through virtual reality

This week, during the NYCxDesign festival, visitors to The Future Perfect can take in a full tour of Casa Perfect, the brand’s beautiful, airy Los Angeles show house, without ever leaving Great Jones Street design gallery. The exhibition of glasswork by Seattle artist John Hogan takes place both IRL and in virtual reality, enabling visitors to see the pieces carefully lit on a mirrored pedestal in the gallery setting and installed in a classic Mid-Century Modern home nestled in the hills of West Hollywood and through VR headsets scattered throughout the New York space. The Future Perfect’s John Hogan show follows a similar recent exhibition at New York’s Jewish Museum, where visitors could interact with the work of designer Pierre Chareau through virtual reality. Beyond such curated “experiences” as his show at The Future Perfect, many brands have been eager to tap into virtual reality's potential in the design and architecture world. Online design service Decorilla offers users the chance to preview their proposals in virtual reality, while DIRTT, a custom prefab company, uses ICEreality “mixed reality” to demo design elements overlaid on real-life spaces.
