3D Visualization
Our multidisciplinary visualisations bring future projects to life, aiding decision-making and engagement.
Visualisation is a powerful way to bring certainty and confidence to major projects. Our visualisation team produce compelling models, simulations and other digital experiences to help clients explore their schemes in sensory detail. These visually rich, virtual, acoustic simulations bring people closer to designs, build public confidence and investor support throughout the lifecycle of a project or program
Projects
Experiences that engage
Too many projects fail because they’re badly communicated. Misconception are allowed to take hold. Infrastructure projects are often many years long, and it’s important to use visual and experiential storytelling techniques that visualization can offer, to maintain support and engagement throughout. Far from how things simply might ‘look’, visualization is now a vital engagement tool on successful projects and programmes.
Our approach combines visualisation expertise you would normally find in the film industry, backed by deep insights into the built environment and project delivery. We produce compelling experiences that engage public, investor and policy-making audiences alike, working on projects in architecture, engineering, master planning, landscaping, product design, training, public events and artistic installations.
Benefits across the project lifecycle
Visualization humanizes design, bringing practitioners closer to the public they serve. It’s cost-effective too, meaning many more projects can be engagingly presented to a greater number of stakeholders and communities.
Here’s how it can help your project:
- Storytelling
- Digital Engagement
- Operational Simulations
- Visualisation Portals
Benefits across the project lifecycle
Story Telling
Planning approval is more likely to be gained, when you can demonstrate your thinking visually. We used this technique to expedite sites that brought confidence to decision makers on everything from security to lighting to pedestrian modelling and media needs.
Benefits across the project lifecycle
Digital Engagement
We provide visual and experiential tools that will help get a project off the ground, illustrating relevant user stories or journeys, reflecting a scheme’s true impact and potential in an engaging way. At Airport, our sound booths allowed the public to experience air noise changes, in an immersive VR experience.
Benefits across the project lifecycle
Operational simulations
Designing any kind of new service used to involve a degree of guesswork and chance. Not anymore. Our team can now simulate every aspect of a proposed service or experience – acoustically, visually, spatially – allowing teams to explore improvements, gauge operating costs, and gain public feedback. We developed an immersive model that reassured decision-makers, the public and operators about the new line’s design, experience and impacts. This work led to quantified improvements to the overall design specifications for the new service.
Benefits across the project lifecycle
Visualization portals
These help project design teams and stakeholders to view proposals and systems across scales, context, design and data. They help to enable focus on often less tangible factors like the environmental impact or the social benefits of a proposed project. They are an effective way to ensure everyone’s understanding and expectations stay aligned throughout the project.
Designs that work for everyone
At Ecoworks, we believe that design should be human-centered – and that means it should work for everyone. The powerful tools we have developed mean we can now model the world for those who experience it differently, testing a design can be navigated by those with neuro-diverse conditions, or visual and hearing impairments.
