Interactive Visualization (IV) is an emerging, new‐generation virtual‐reality based mode for project visualization. IV creates a virtual world in which to model projects accurately in 3D, then render videos and images as well as immersive visualizations to create interactive simulation products. Visualizations can be experienced in kiosks, as driving simulations, through virtual reality viewers and more.
