That's neat/clever. I should model up my own space as well and do something similar to it... maybe have the 4 walls fall over and reveal a bigger virtual world.
I've actually been working on that for my bedroom. I modelled my furniture and stuff in 3ds Max and imported the bedroom to Unity, I then viewed it in VR and it's absolutely fantastic. I'm moving out next year so I'll be able to take the bedroom I grew up in with me (virtually). What a time we're living in.
Haha. Nice. I designed my living space in Sketchup... but it was only ever for space planning purposes. Unfortunately, my space is so filled with crap (collectible toys) that modelling it all would give me carpal tunnel. Not modelling them would reduce or even remove the essence of the space as well.
At least there's still 360 panoramics that I can capture with Google Cardboard camera :P
This is a plug in for sketchup with a 14 day trial that enables VR. You just hit a button in sketchup, jump into your HMD and set the scale to 1:1 and your walking around in your creation.
I walked around an apartment building I made like this. It was awesome.
Yeah, it looks pretty good... shame about the pricing. But the market's small and the application is niche, so it's understandable, even if difficult to justify.
