July 18, 2024 —  The adoption of 3D scanning technology in architectural practices has seen significant growth across both academic and professional sectors. The discipline of interior design is particularly interested in this technology due to its ability to preserve and record building data. During the summer of 2023, initial research conducted with undergraduate researcher Vyas Gopal enabled Assistant Professor of Interior Design, Jason Shields, to explore the potential of 3D scanning for interior environments. This early-stage research delved into the complexities of photogrammetry and the integration of 3D scans into game engines to create virtual reality simulations.
