After announcing a technology partnership with Autodesk last November, virtual reality and gaming engine platform producer Unity Technologies has introduced its first-ever product for the construction industry.
Unity Reflect allows architects, engineers and virtual construction professionals to take Autodesk Revit BIM into the Unity engine, with all of its geometry and parametric modeling data intact, with one click of a publish button. Hitting publish also shares it to any project team members. That 3D model is then live-linked to its Unity counterpart, and any update or change made in Autodesk Revit is reflected in the updated Unity model. All project stakeholders can view the shared Unity model on devices as varied as an iPad, HoloLens or laptop.
