Inside the space — a walk through one of the worlds

Designing places you step inside — from a pen sketch of a VR dwelling to walkable, collaborative worlds.

The idea was to treat virtual space as real space: rooms to meet in, labs to review work in, environments to present from. It started on paper in 2015 and grew into headset-ready worlds — designed, scanned and built to walk around in. Shown here as the thinking and the process; the full space walkthroughs follow.

The vision

Where it was headed

Concept renders and strategy: headsets, collaboration stations and a future scaled on simulation.

In the headset

Built & tested

From the editor to the headset — building and testing the spaces at full scale.

More from the space

Walkthroughs

Recorded from inside the worlds — modelled in Gravity Sketch, built in Unity, walked in the headset.

A luminaire prototype, in VR

Draft selection — one clip for now, pulled from the VR Spaces set. More available (full walkthrough, PinPoint factory, Gravity Sketch builds, GS VR lab, fog studies); say which make the cut. (provisional)

Sketched first

Pen & iPad

Every space began as a drawing — an immersion dwelling, a VR ride, a self-service kiosk.
