I wrote about how Wisconsin-based architect Jon Brouchoud is using the Oculus Rift to show off 3D models of his designs to clients last week, now here's an update he recently posted in the Oculus Rift forum on Reddit:
I had the privilege of demonstrating Oculus Rift at some of the largest architecture firms in the world. Every single person who tried it on was convinced of it's potential for architectural applications - if not completely blown away, by it. It is unanimously the sense of scale you get inside of a Rift that sells it from an architectural standpoint... The side-by-side comparison of seeing the same project depicted on a 2D surface contrasted with an Oculus Rift experience of the exact same build was enough to convince even the skeptics.
Much more here. I especially like this comment in the thread from "wavefunction84":
I've demoed it to a lot of people (more than a hundred) and many brushed it off as just a gaming device before trying it. The magic was when I put it on their heads. It was almost like: "This is neat but I don't really see how this could have many applications..." plunk "Whoa."
Whoa indeed, wavefunction84. Whoa, indeed.
