What is it about?
Virtual reality (VR) environments are experiencing a shift from technology still in development, to a fully-fledged digital instrument with VR consumer products accessible to and usable by the general public. This paper explores the parallelism of architecture and psychology by assessing their combined impact on a user’s perception of spatial qualities in an Immersive Virtual Environment.

Why is it important?
A framework for assessing the effects of densified office space is proposed. This article presents a discussion on the impact of immersive Virtual Environments on human perception, and how this will help architectural and non-architectural disciplines gain an understanding of ‘perceptional space’.
Perspectives
This study presents a way of creating, testing and experiencing a VE that allows for the strengths of multiple disciplines to be incorporated into a shared framework. As technology evolves, a cross-disciplinary collaboration that addresses research issues more holistically will fundamentally influence how architectural research is undertaken.
