Envision Your Next Home Improvement Project, Virtual Reality Style

Home improvement projects can be daunting – especially if you're not quite sure what you want the end result to look like. But what if you could see your potential home renovations before you even start? That's where virtual reality (VR) comes in.

With Virtual Reality, you can step into a lifelike 3D representation of your home and experiment with different design possibilities. Want to see what that accent wall would look like before you commit to painting it? Or curious to find out whether that new sofa will fit in the living room? VR can help you answer those questions and more.

Keep reading to learn how Virtual Reality is changing the home improvement game and how you can use it for your next project.

How Virtual Reality Is Changing Home Improvement Projects

In the past, people had to rely on photographs, sketches, or their own imagination to visualize how a home improvement project would turn out. This process was often fraught with inaccuracy, as it was difficult to get a sense of scale or proportion from two-dimensional images. That's where VR comes in. With VR, you can walk around in a three-dimensional virtual space and get a true sense of how a renovation will look and feel once it's complete.

This technology is already being used by some of the top home improvement retailers. Lowe's, for example, has rolled out Oculus Rift headsets in a handful of its stores nationwide as part of its Holoroom experience. Customers can put on the headset and be transported into a lifelike 3D rendering of their own kitchen, where they can then experiment with different appliances, cabinets, countertops, and more.

How You Can Use Virtual Reality for Your Next Home Improvement Project

You don't need to go to a Lowe's store (or any other retailer) to experience Virtual Reality for yourself – all you need is to talk to ForesightVR.
