CASE STUDY: INSTALLING SUCCESS Hayley Robson, Day True, Wimbledon
fact, as Day True creative director Hayley Robson explains, it’s easier than changing a physical display in your showroom.
T “Setting up 4D Theatre was very
easy,” says Robson. “We didn’t need to make any dramatic changes to our showroom because we already had a presentation screen. So, it was just a case of adding the necessary equipment and allowing the space.” The Virtual Worlds team took care of the installation, working with Robson to ensure zero disruption to the showroom. “The installing of 4D Theatre, as well as ensuring the CAD was fully working on our internal system, was so easy
he installation and set-up of Virtual Worlds 4D Theatre is simple and hassle-free. In
and seamless. They set everything up for us and were always on hand with any questions.”
For a showroom that is known for offering the ‘Day True experience’, it is fitting that the experiential nature of Virtual Worlds 4D Theatre speaks to Robson. “As designers we can visualise, but not all clients are used to reading plans and 2D drawings,” she says. “This tool allows us to translate space, proportion, volume, and materials in their own space. By using 4D theatre, they can walk around their own room and understand how the space will feel.” With talk of Virtual displays beginning to outperform physical displays, can you afford not to offer this kind of design experience to your customers?
