Implication

Experimental assessment compares virtual reality environments with real spaces for illumination metrics.

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the validity of virtual reality (VR) technology for measuring mean room surface exitance (MRSE).
  • Utilized immersive virtual environments from high dynamic range images via a VR headset.
  • Conducted comparisons between virtual and real environments to assess perceived adequacy of illumination and spatial brightness.
  • Developed and validated a software tool using V-Ray for 3ds Max for MRSE estimation.
  • Immersive VR environments effectively conveyed visual perception of real spaces for perceived adequacy of illumination and spatial brightness.
  • The tool using V-Ray for 3ds Max proved to be efficient for assessing and visualizing illumination levels related to MRSE.
