Residents &#8211; sometimes due to a language barrier &#8211; often do not understand the impact of renovation works, and find it difficult to make choices. The use of interactive virtual reality (VR) changes this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Virtual Reality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TU Delft is researching the influence of VR on people&#8217;s choice behavior. Now, this technique is being investigated by a consortium as part of renovation projects. With VR glasses on, residents can see their own home with the correct placement of doors and windows, floor coverings, and light. As they &#8220;walk-around&#8221; they see the impact of the renovation and understand why they need to make certain preparations. They also see the final result of the kitchen, bathroom, or sustainability options and adjust their choices on the spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture1_2-2-1024x266.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture1_2-2-1024x266.png 1024w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture1_2-2-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture1_2-2-768x200.png 768w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture1_2-2.png 1434w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Left] Before the renovation works can start, furniture has to be moved and covered with plastic, the freezer needs to be moved and the floor is protected.

More residents also appeared to opt-in for sustainability measures, the pilot showed an increase from 15 to 50%. Another important result was a significant decrease in residents who regret their choices made. The pilot could also count on enthusiasm: residents were curious and were eager to try the new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture3_4-3-1024x288.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122\" style=\"width:1159px;height:326px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture3_4-3-1024x288.png 1024w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture3_4-3-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture3_4-3-768x216.png 768w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture3_4-3.png 1435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Picture 3 and 4 \u2013 In the VR, tenant scan see how their kitchen will look like when they make certain choices.

Recently, a project started in Tilburg of the KnaapenGroep on a multi-apartment building with 144 apartments. In this project, residents are supported in their choices regarding the bathroom, toilet, and fa\u00e7ade layout using the VR modules. Besides, residents are informed through the VR about the nuisance they can expect during the renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture5_6-1-1024x288.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\" style=\"width:1157px;height:325px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture5_6-1-1024x288.png 1024w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture5_6-1-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture5_6-1-768x216.png 768w, https:\/\/vr-renovate.tudelft.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/picture5_6-1.png 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture 5 and 6: To prepare tenants for the renovation, tenants experience how their home is renovated in several steps and see the end-result.
