traditional plans and reviewing their quality.• 70 % of the understandability of plans is lost if the

plan is not presented in 1:1 scale.

• A key to reality• 3D immersion: the user enters the 3D world with the

field of vision exceeding 180 degrees. • 3D and stereoscopic imaging: a spatial sense of space

and depth.• 1:1 scale: true life size.

• An immersive virtual reality system which projects a stereoscopic 3D BIM image on the surfaces of the exhibition space.
