@Geo,
I also tried a couple of the VR demonstrations at Basecamp 2016, although I tried it with a group kitchen design I had on a USB stick. The experience was wonderful, but isn’t one that could be easily extended to using VR in the interaction between the design professional and the client. Why? Because both of the VR demos relied on very expensive hardware to control the interactivity of the VR.
The combination of SketchUp with VR could be highly beneficial for the design/present/update cycle between design professional and client, but shouldn’t rely on expensive VR hardware. It should be able to use consumer level VR technology such as Google Daydream or Samsung Gear.
While such functionality might be provided by 3rd parties, I think Trimble should extend their business model to include presentation . Toward that end, I just created a new topic:
