Over the past few weeks, under Prof. Bushra’s guidance, students have developed and simulated
these environments using Unity, applying core skills in VR locomotion, interaction design,
and user immersion. Their work was showcased through live VR headset demos and
recorded videos, demonstrating both technical and creative progress.

Group A focused on the creation of a restaurant in VR, with each team member taking on a
specific role. The Lighting Specialist ensured that the lighting created a realistic atmosphere,
while the Mobility/Teleport Specialist designed smooth, clear paths for user navigation. The
Interior Design Specialist worked on creating functional and aesthetically pleasing interiors,
and the Visual Design Specialist focused on selecting furniture and décor to enhance the
space’s purpose.

Group B worked on the design and review of a recreation room in an office building. The
Lighting Specialist developed a natural and atmospheric lighting concept, while the
Navigation Specialist focused on creating intuitive movement within space. The Visual
Quality Specialist worked on the overall aesthetic of the room, choosing suitable textures and
materials for a modern and realistic design.

Group C designed the next-generation virtual conference space. The Navigation
Specialist focused on intuitive movement within the space, while the Visual Quality
Specialist enhanced the overall look of the space through textures, lighting, and design. The
Interior Design Specialist arranged furniture and defined functional areas to encourage
interaction and focus during meetings.

The students showcased their work through live VR demos and recorded videos,
demonstrating their skills in VR locomotion, interaction design, and user immersion. Prof.
Bushra and fellow students attended, offering feedback and engaging in discussions about XR
applications in architecture and design.
“It was impressive to see how students translated architectural ideas into interactive virtual
spaces. The diversity of building types and contexts shows how adaptable XR tools are in the
AEC field,” said Prof. Dr. Nayab Bushra.

This event marks Part 1 of the ongoing project. In the coming weeks, students will continue
refining their designs in preparation for the final presentations later this semester.
