Experiential Simulation for Designing Healthcare Environments

November 5-December 5, 2009

UC Berkeley graduate students created an immersive visualization of a local hospital using multiple Autodesk applications, including Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software and unreleased Project Newport software from Autodesk Labs.

Exploration of Autodesk real-time 3D story-building technology was a formative step in the team’s research project, which seeks to revolutionize the practice of visualizing and assessing the usability of healthcare facilities through digitally mediated, interactive environments.
