Mobius characterises itself as an interior design and office fit out company. The company’s work ranges from space planning and furniture selection to BIM modelling. Mobius is unique for its 3D virtual reality pitches and presentations that allow customers to have a rich experience in their planned new environments - and potential variants - before physical works begin.The impetus for Mobius’ virtual reality warehouse came from the company’s twin ambitions; one, to differentiate itself from the predominantly static presentations of competitors; and two, to give Mobius customers the fullest possible appreciation of their new environments.

Mobius gives customers unique virtual reality previews of their planned new environments

Lauryn Pyne, Mobius’ Commercial Director, says virtual reality played a large part in the company’s strategy to be among the best in its field. “The VR experience has been really good. Our customers love being able to experience full-size designs and see real-time changes in design aspects, such as colour schemes.”

Current VR technology commonly uses virtual reality headsets or projected environments. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to “look around” the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features. The effect is often created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with large screens.

One that takes place within a simulated environment that incorporates visual and other sensory feedback.

A VR investment in sector leadership and personalised experienceThe technical challenge to create a virtual reality warehouse included projecting onto the extremities of a wall, floor to ceiling and full width, which required an ultra-shallow ceiling mount.

People who see presentations immediately appreciate that Mobius has invested in its own technical capabilities as well as in the experience of its customers.

Now customers can put on goggles to immerse themselves in designs scaled 1:1. The VR experience is enhanced with integrated audio in the ceiling to provide surround sound.

As an alternative to goggles and the immersive experience, the VR designs can also be viewed on a 55” 4K LED screen with built-in speakers.

Walking through your futurePeople in different roles enjoy a real advantage in being able to walk through planned works.

Whether the project is a fit out, a refurbishment or a turnkey solution, Facilities Managers, property owners, commercial landlords and project managers can see furniture, flooring and even sense the textures of the planned environment.

Mobius’ virtual reality enables customers to see and ‘feel’ exactly what they are getting. The benefits of clarity and certainty about what the future holds, builds confidence in planned projects and helps to justify budgets.

The Carillion Difference Dee Reed, MD, Carillion Communications, says, “Mobius has created something special that gives people a real insight into the future of their projects. Our engineers were very pleased to play their part in the success of the Mobius VR warehouse.”

Remote viewing and BIM recordsThe majority of Mobius’ customers take advantage of a visit in person to the Mobius studio. However, when distance presents a problem, the VR files are transportable and still create a positive impressions on remote viewers.

Building Information Modelling is a cutting-edge utensil in the construction industry and Mobius are paving the way for its use in the commercial fit-out sector. Mobius VR designs become a dynamic project record that act as a reference for people who may want to refer to the space and its construction in the future.

A Carillion Case Study: Mobius

Working with Carillion CommunicationsMobius met Carillion Communications working on client projects, some of which have been technically and logistically complex. Lauryn Pyne says,

“Carillion are always responsive. They do exactly what they say they will do, exactly when they say they are going to do it.

They are just good people, and very professional. We see them as an extension of our business.”
