Hand Tracking in Virtual Reality with Leap Motion
The Leap Motion’s hand tracking prowess simplifies interaction, aids the sense of immersion, and allows for creative interaction concepts.
Augmented Reality – Interior Design Tool
Augmented Reality is so fun for real world architectural applications because you can start manipulating the physical real world in virtual space. Instead of a hologram floating arbitrarily in space, we have a real world wall and floor we can play with in virtual space and express in different ways--all on the fly.

Our IrisVR Multiuser Test
Multiuser meant less instruction and more action as we could exist in the same virtual space and chat in realtime about our shared virtual surroundings.Having supported hundreds of VR meetings for architecture, we think Multiuser formats should be used whenever possible.
6 Tips for VR Collaboration
If you’re solving spatial problems, collaborative VR is the start of that solution. Here are 6 tips to help your VR collaboration meetings go smoothly.
Open Scale Test 2
A few weeks ago, we attempted to break out of room scale VR. Why? We wanted a teleportation-free architectural walkthrough experience.
Introducing: VR for AEC Workshops
VR reduces risk. VR facilitates decision making. VR helps you evaluate constructibility and detect clashes faster and better. VR is the secret weapon against bad VE. Understanding how you can creatively use VR to address common problems in your practice is what makes the difference.
Why Esri + Autodesk?
Esri's ArcGIS is the gold standard for GIS data—Having this information readily available and integrated into existing workflows will save time and money.
Open Scale VR for Architecture
We got early access to a Windows Mixed Reality Developer Headset. We immediately began using it (not as directed) in pursuit of an “Open Scale” VR experience that would allow us to walk unbuilt spaces at full scale without teleportation.We succeeded!
CAD to Virtual Reality: Instant VR Solutions
We work directly with AEC firms on implementing VR strategies, so every product on our list offers true room-scale VR capabilities that convert your CAD models into room-scale experiences with only a click or two. They really are that easy.
Virtual Mockups for Ergonomics and Rapid Iteration
In Healthcare Design, the arrangement of elements represents healing and patient comfort. In Retail Design, it represents brand identity, impulse purchases, and returning customers. In Industrial Design, it represents worker safety and measurable improvements in efficiency. Where arrangement of elements is crucial to the design, VR is the right tool for the job.
Simon Manning Speaking at AIA Oklahoma
. . .highlighting case studies of how architects have used VR and AR in their workflows to improve efficiency and elevate design. Thanks for the invitation to speak, AIA OK!
Virtual Showrooms for Small Studios and Artisans
With VR we can show off sculptural lighting in its built context or in a virtual showroom from anywhere.
Bevel to Present at SPARK Seattle
Our friends at Greypants Studio invited Bevel to show off how Virtual Reality can improve design and communication at their fourth annual party. It's a free event with lots of great people and products to see. RSVP below. We hope to see you there!
Bevel to Present at Seattle Maker Faire
Word is out. Bevel's Logan and Simon are speaking at the Maker Faire about their experience at the intersection of VR and Making.
360 photos vs. Virtual Reality
360 degree photos are a peek into the potential of VR but a long way from actually realizing that potential.
Future of Architecture and Construction?
The use of Virtual Reality at architecture and construction firms is not exactly the future anymore...
Virtual Reality for Campus Planning
“When I place the building here, how does it affect my views? How does it affect the views of the buildings behind me? Will my community garden get enough sunlight? The process of placing my buildings in their context, making changes, and then testing those changes by occupying the design at full scale took 30 seconds.”
PDX Digital Construction Summit
Last weekend, the Bevel team attended the Digital Construction Summit in Portland. Here were some of the overarching themes.
Iterative Design in VR
Using a VR mockup, the hospital saved the cost and labor of making a physical mock-up which would have involved 100's of pounds of foam and cardboard and days of labor (savings approx. $45,000).
VR in your Design Firm – 101
Why “what hardware?” is the wrong question when it comes to XR At Bevel, our holidays are always punctuated with the emails from our architect friends saying “Okay, my firm is finally using VR in 2019–what hardware do we buy?” The answer is easy: any of them. Seriously. Everyone has their preference. And not a […]
Exciting BIM and VR technology unlock promising potential
Autodesk University was quite the success last week, but we’re just getting started. Industry Insights by UNIFI invited Simon and Logan to be on their webinar. The topic: “BIM and Virtual Reality.” BIM and Virtual Reality webinar highlights: Why VR isn’t just about being showy—when you have BIM, it’s about data. There’s some perception that […]
This Is An Awesome AR Demo To Download
We have some pretty clever people working at Bevel, who recently attended Autodesk University and had the pleasure of having our AR demo presented in Unity’s keynote. With all of the work we have been doing with Unity and Revit in our spatial technology solution making, Bevel has become somewhat of an expert in the […]
6 uses of XR in healthcare design
Hospitals are undoubtedly special building types. Between the number of regulations to the breadth of stakeholders, the job of a healthcare designer is a balancing act. Here is how savvy architects are using Virtual and Augmented Reality to connect with their clients throughout the life of a healthcare project. 6 Uses of XR in Healthcare […]
How and Why of using VR and AR in Medical Design
SEEKING HEALTHCARE DESIGNERS! No this isn’t a casting call, but we are seriously looking for those interested in capturing feedback for their medical designs, mockups and exploring other cost-saving spatial solutions. We are partnering up with a handful of healthcare clients for 2019 and we want to see what you’ve got and prep you to […]
