Prospect is a software product that allows users to view and interact with 3D models in virtual reality (VR) using various VR headsets. It supports many 3D file formats, such as Revit, Navisworks, Rhino, SketchUp, FBX, and OBJ. Prospect enables immersive design review and collaboration, with features such as model sectioning, annotations, layers, inspect element, tape measure, scale model mode, screenshots, viewpoints, sun settings, and multiuser meetings. Users can import their 3D models into Prospect with one click and explore them in VR without any coding or training.
Prospect has significant business implications for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. It helps AEC professionals to communicate design intent in 1:1 scale, identify and resolve issues faster, improve coordination and collaboration among stakeholders, and enhance client engagement and satisfaction. Prospect also leverages the data and metadata of existing BIM models to provide rich information and analysis in VR. By using Prospect, AEC firms can reduce errors and rework, save time and money, and deliver better quality projects.
