This week has been incredibly exciting for us at JLK Architects as we delve deep into the world of immersive technology. Our team has been exploring and experimenting with various cutting-edge technologies. From green screening to facial scanning, voice over capture, and motion capture, we're harnessing these tools to create something very exciting! Here's a closer look at each of these fascinating technologies: Green Screening Green screening, also known as chroma keying, is a visual effects technique used to composite two images or video streams together. The green screen is typically replaced with a different background or environment during post-production. This technology is widely used in filmmaking and video production to create fantastical settings that would be impossible or impractical to shoot in real life. In architecture, green screening can be utilised to present designs in various environments, allowing clients to visualise buildings in different contexts. This technique enhances the ability to present and market architectural concepts in a more engaging and immersive manner. Facial Scanning Facial scanning technology involves capturing high-resolution 3D images of a person's face. This process uses specialised cameras and software to create detailed digital replicas that can be animated and manipulated. For architects, facial scanning can be an invaluable tool in creating realistic and personalised avatars for virtual walkthroughs and simulations. By incorporating human elements into architectural visualisations, we can offer more relatable and interactive experiences for clients and stakeholders. Voice Over Capture (VO Cap) Voice over capture, or VO cap, is the process of recording and synchronising an actor's voice with digital characters or environments. This technique is essential in creating realistic and emotionally engaging audio that matches visual elements in VR, gaming, and animated films. In our architectural projects, VO cap allows us to add dynamic and authentic vocal performances to our digital environments. This enhances the overall immersive experience, making virtual tours and simulations more lifelike and compelling. Motion Capture (MO Cap) Motion capture, commonly referred to as mo cap, is the process of recording the movement of objects or people. This technology uses sensors or markers placed on the subject, which are then tracked and translated into digital models. The result is highly realistic and fluid movement within a digital environment. For architecture, mo cap can be used to create realistic human movements in virtual walkthroughs and simulations. This adds a layer of realism to presentations, helping clients to better understand how spaces will be used and experienced in real life. What's Next? At JLK Architects, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with immersive technology. We are working on something exciting that will allow us to present information in new and exciting ways. Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled for more updates! By embracing these innovative technologies, we are not only enhancing our design capabilities but also creating more engaging and interactive experiences for our clients. The future of architecture is here, and it's more thrilling than ever! When designing a new building, we prioritise its context, respect the local vernacular, and consider its impact on the streetscape. #Architecture #UrbanDesign #SustainableBuilding #Nottinghamarchitects.  This unique space is carefully designed to take full advantage of its countryside location and stunning views.

💫Are we close enough to the weekend to eat chocolate and drink Prosecco? What a wonderful gift received from one of our lovely clients! 🍫🍾  This week we visited a stunning eco house we designed in the heart of a conservation area in Nottinghamshire. From conception to creation, every detail of this home embodies our commitment to sustainable architecture and harmonious design. We look forward to many more collaborations and eco-conscious designs ahead! #SustainableLiving #EcoArchitecture #Nottingham #ConservationArea #DreamHome #GreenFuture  A small modern roof extension has been added to this Nottinghamshire grade II listed building. The scale of the development and materials have been carefully considered. The strong existing façade remains the dominant element in the streetscape while the modern addition sits elegantly in the background. We love adapting existing building for a new purpose, we feel this building will create beautiful homes for its new residents. #adaptivereuse #nottinghamshirearchitect  Our team attended the Royal Town Planning Institute's 'Make It Happen' event in Nottingham. The case study for the event was the Island Quarter in Nottingham. The masterplan for this area of the city is a positive insight into how collaborative working can create commercially viable development which is a joy for the users and valuable to the whole city. #makeithappen   We are excited to share a sneak peek at our latest Nottinghamshire eco house. The owners are delighted with their energy and water efficient home, they told JLK “having a well designed new home makes family life easier and more enjoyable”. #nottinghamarchitect #ecohouse #modernhomedesign  |
