Arkio
Arkio is a collaborative spatial design tool that offers a unique blend of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and traditional desktop/mobile interfaces. It provides a platform for architects, designers, and stakeholders to quickly sketch out ideas in 3D, iterate on designs within an immersive environment, and review models at human scale. Arkio works with popular 3D modeling tools like Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, and BIM 360, allowing easy import/export of models. The focus is on speed, flexibility, and collaborative design exploration across a range of devices.expand_more

What is Arkio used for?
Arkio.is is a collaborative design tool used in architecture, focusing on the early stages of design and bringing those initial ideas to life in a virtual environment. Here's a breakdown of its key functionalities:
VR-powered Design Sketching:
Arkio allows architects and designers to create architectural models directly in virtual reality using intuitive hand-tracking controls. This enables a natural and immersive way to explore design concepts in 3D space, sculpting forms and manipulating building elements freely.
Collaborative Design Sessions:
Arkio facilitates real-time collaboration between design teams, regardless of their physical location. Users can join design sessions through VR headsets, desktops, or mobile devices, allowing for shared virtual design workshops and brainstorming sessions.
Integration with Existing Workflows:
Arkio integrates with popular BIM (Building Information Modeling) software like Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino through plugins. This allows users to import existing 2D models or basic concepts and refine them within the VR environment. Additionally, Arkio offers integration with BIM 360, a common data environment platform, enabling a smooth exchange of project data throughout the design process.
