From the point on, Project VR will make effective use
of Arcbazar as a platform to further popularize it.
Precisely, FORUM 8 will continue to use Project VR to assist
in competitive projects, and Arcbazar users are also given the option
to register with and access the Simple Self-Assessement website and 3D
VR Simulation Services. ProjectVR and Arcbazar creates excellent
synergy by enhancing project understanding and results in better
valuation of projects. Figure 4 is a conceptual workflow how
the new combined system will work.
Arcbazar
Support Service
FORUM 8 will both recruit for clients and act as a sponsor to assist
Arcbazar's hosting of competitions through the newly established
Arcbazar Support Service.
ONBOARDING
Clients would draft a project plan and publish it on Arcbazar, with
specifications and requirements such as: purpose of project, current
situation, number of rooms, undesired design themes, submission
deadline, award money, etc.
Project VR will provide 3D model generation by converting from
real-world photographs and also provide modeling of the surrounding
environments.
COMPETITION
All questions and clarifications from the designers are posted onto the
Public Wall (a discussion board) on Arcbazar. Clients would answer
accordingly and also provide any updates to the situation.
The Self-Assessments, the uploading of 3D VR data, or the 3D modelling
services willl be implemented in this phase.
With this, a client could provide better and more accurate design
concerns through a prior analysis with the Self-Assessment service, as
well as evaluate the proposals with the same methods.
EVALUATION
Client or sponsor would decide the top 3 winning bids, and the award
money would be distributed accordingly.
As previously mentioned, the Self-Assessment and VR data should serve
as excellent judgemental refrences in the final decision
making.
Arcbazar also allow Public Vote of submitted projects that is
independent of the client's final decision. The endorsed projects, even
if not won, would result in ranking points for the designers, which is
tallied and arranged into a leaderboard for future project
references.
POST-COMPETITION
After the competition, the project is stored in the site and available
for public viewing. The purpose of which is to serve as a reference and
assist (both new or old) clients in future project plans and
the selection of designers. To designers, this is where their designed
projects can be stored and should benefit them in their future career
progression.
All past projects are stored in a service called Arcfolio. We plan to
convert a portion of these projects into 3D data and introducing more
vivid and interactive viewing of projects through VR-Cloud®.
