Cutting-edge Architectural Visualization Comes to Varjo Headsets with Twinmotion Support
With Twinmotion support for Varjo’s industry-leading VR and XR devices, real-time 3D architectural visualization takes the next evolutionary step.
April 4, 2023 – Helsinki, Finland – Twinmotion, the leading real-time visualization tool designed for architecture, construction, urban planning, and landscaping professionals, now supports Varjo headsets in the latest version 2023.1.
Professionals can finally use Twinmotion to inspect their 3D models in virtual reality in a realistic way, thanks to the industry-leading resolution and visual fidelity of Varjo’s VR headsets, including the Varjo Aero.
With Twinmotion support for Varjo, architectural visualization takes the next evolutionary step. While 3D renderings of architectural models have been possible for a long time, models are traditionally viewed on 2D screens. While 2D screens can portray models effectively, they struggle to showcase the lifelike dimensions and sense of depth brought by virtual reality. For example, truly grasping the scale of buildings or understanding what the dimensions of a room feel like in practice is not possible on 2D screens.
“The combination of Twinmotion and Varjo allows architects to bring their vision to life on a real-world scale, with unmatched visual clarity. Twinmotion’s support for Varjo Aero opens entirely new possibilities for VR in architecture, and we can’t wait to see the results for our overall efficiency and the realism of our models.”

VR for Architecture – Visualization Like Never Before
With Twinmotion support for Varjo, architectural visualization takes the next evolutionary step. While 3D renderings of architectural models have been possible for a long time, models are traditionally viewed on 2D screens. While 2D screens can portray models effectively, they struggle to showcase the lifelike dimensions and sense of depth brought by virtual reality. For example, truly grasping the scale of buildings or understanding what the dimensions of a room feel like in practice is not possible on 2D screens.
With VR-based visualization, people can be placed directly into the architectural scene – instead of needing to understand what technical measurements mean in practice. VR has the potential to revolutionize how buildings and spaces are designed, as a true sense of dimensions and spatial understanding can be achieved much earlier in the design process.
While some support for using VR in architecture has existed before, consumer-oriented headsets have simply not been able to display architectural models with sufficient visual fidelity. Thanks to the industry-leading visual clarity of Varjo headsets and Twinmotion’s cutting-edge visualization capabilities, the real-time 3D models can now be experienced in a completely immersive way.
Support for Varjo Aero headsets is available in Twinmotion’s version 2023.1 released on April 4th. Read more about the release on Twinmotion.com.
