What is virtual architecture?

Virtual architecture refers to the creation of architectural designs, models, and simulations using digital tools, such as computer-aided design (CAD) software and virtual reality (VR) technology. It involves using computer-generated graphics to design and visualize buildings, landscapes, and interior spaces in a three-dimensional virtual environment. Virtual architecture can be used to explore multiple design options, test different materials and lighting configurations, and provide clients and stakeholders with a realistic preview of the final design. It can also be used for virtual tours and walkthroughs of buildings before they are constructed.
