Abstract:

Digital era has brought multiple ways of representing the reality. Specifically in the architectural field, VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) is essential part on the learning process. Metaverse appeared creating an immersive virtual reality in which the people can feel a virtual space surrounding them as a real.
Artificial Intelligence also brings a lot of possibilities for rendering and spatial exploration.

Then, all aspects that make part of this immersive experience, work as a mockup to explore and feel the sensation of the space, proportions, distances and human perceptions in any of those type of representations.

Nowadays, most of Schools of Architecture teach their students to make and implement virtual reality for the simulation on their projects.
Definitely, the development of these strategies to feel an architectural experience has brought significant benefits:

- Multiple possibilities to explore in terms of space : colours, graphics, dimensions, proportions, lighting, furniture.
- Virtual immersion and perception of the designed space as it is a created illusion in the brain.
- As it is digital, any modification can be done using the same base.
- This immersive experience can be at any platform on the internet as well as sent in a file anywhere in the world (as it is digital).
- It can be represented in collaborative virtual environments.
- Possibility of experience it in real time or recorded.
- No waste of materials on realization of mockups.
- Cost efficient and saving time.

We noticed that Architectural students who use VR on their learning process have more options to explore the designed space and feel the human perception on it.
