ALSC incorporates virtual technology into our design process to give clients better visualization of future building projects.
Wearing virtual reality goggles, someone using 3-D technology can step into the middle of a North Pines Middle School common space that doesn’t exist yet.
With the same goggle headset, the person with a head tilt or circular movement can get a panorama view of that school space designed by ALSC Architects PS, of Spokane.
