In the fast-paced world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), accurate design reviews and efficient collaboration are crucial. Now commercially available, Autodesk Workshop XR, an immersive workspace designed for AEC teams, transforms how 3D models and associated project data are reviewed in real-time. Powered by Virtual Reality (VR), Workshop XR offers a unique approach to collaboration, helping teams prevent costly design issues while accelerating project timelines. 

Walk through your projects at human-scale  

It’s difficult to comprehend the true human experience of spaces designed on 2D screens. One of the core features of Workshop XR is its ability to allow teams to walk through their projects at human scale using VR. This capability gives AEC professionals a more intuitive and spatial understanding of how their designs will translate into the built environment. Unlike traditional 2D renderings or on-screen 3D models, Workshop XR offers an immersive experience that brings project data to life.  

Connection to Autodesk Construction Cloud 

Workshop XR isn’t just a VR tool—it’s designed to work seamlessly with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) through Autodesk Docs, connecting project data for on-demand, real-time reviews. This integration allows AEC teams to access and visualize the most up-to-date models and project data within VR environments.  

The early-stage immersion that Workshop XR provides is critical for identifying and resolving design issues before construction begins, preventing costly reworks and delays later in the construction process, saving both time and money.  

Key Benefits of Workshop XR 

Workshop XR can help enable several major benefits, including:  

  • Improved Design Accuracy: Experience designs in human scale VR, leading to better spatial understanding and fewer errors. 
  • Streamlined Collaboration: Teams work together in real-time, with up-to-date project data from ACC. 
  • Accelerated Issue Resolution: Spot and resolve design issues early, reducing the risk of delays. 
  • Reduced Rework and Waste: Prevent costly design changes and material waste by identifying problems before construction begins. 
  • Faster Design Review Cycles: Speed up the review process by working collaboratively in an immersive environment. 
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Gain a clearer, more comprehensive understanding of project design, leading to more informed choices. 

By leveraging the power of VR and real-time data, Workshop XR enables teams to walk through their project before they’re built, making better design decisions and delivering projects faster, with fewer issues along the way.
