“Microsoft HoloLens and Trimble’s SketchUp Viewer have completely revolutionized the way I work,” says Lynn. SketchUp Viewer allowed Greg to cost-effectively visualize and navigate a holographic representation of the Packard Plant from the convenience of his work space in Venice Beach, California. Perhaps most important, we believe experiential review will improve communication and collaboration across project stakeholders who participate in mixed reality experiences.Įarlier this year, as part of the 2016 Venice Biennale architecture exhibition, Trimble and HoloLens partnered to enable architect Greg Lynn to use SketchUp Viewer to envision a drastic re-design of the Packard plant in Detroit that has been abandoned for half a century. Viewing models in this way will enable designers to better understand the choices and tradeoffs in their projects, which can help shorten the cycle between design iterations. SketchUp Viewer on HoloLens allows people to inhabit their designs in the most natural way possible – either as a holographic scale model on a tabletop, or through an immersive experience from within a digital building model. With this new solution, Trimble is taking 3D modeling as part of the design and construction process further and into what they call experiential review. SketchUp Viewer on HoloLens adopts mixed reality and extends the value and investment already made in 3D modeling with SketchUp.
Today, SketchUp is widely used for 3D modeling and design by tens of millions of AECO professionals.
This marks the first extensible commercial HoloLens solution available in the Windows Store that any company in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industries can buy and use right away. This morning at Trimble Dimensions in Las Vegas, alongside Trimble CEO Steve Berglund and prominent architect Greg Lynn, I helped to introduce Trimble’s SketchUp Viewer, which is now available for purchase in the Windows Store. Today, we are thrilled to announce another important milestone in the Microsoft HoloLens and mixed reality journey. Last month, we showcased our aspiration to empower a new wave of creativity, and our goal to enable that through 3D and mixed reality for everyone.
