设计讨论是建筑学教育中一门非常重要的课程。在本文中，我们开发了一个基于VR的建筑设计讨论系统，允许成员可视化和讨论的建筑模型，并在讨论过程中修改模型。由于该系统设计用于在Rhinoceros和Grasshopper之上工作，因此对象数据库在对象修改后立即更新。成员通过语音，对象操作和空中素描以及虚拟环境中的表面素描进行交流。已经设计了若干工具，以加强存在感，使讨论更加有效。我们还开发了一个回滚机制，帮助用户直观快速地恢复到以前的讨论状态，以进行一些更改或开始新的讨论方向。为了评估该系统，我们进行了一个初步的用户研究，有14名参与者，以评估用户体验，用户印象和系统的有效性。与会者的反馈是积极的，并表明该系统可以有效和有用地支持架构设计讨论。
Design discussion is a very important course in architecture education. In this paper, we developed a VR based architecture design discussion system that allows members to visualize and discuss the architectural models and to modify the models during discussion. Since the system is designed to work on top of Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, the object database is updated right after the object modification. Members communicate via voice, object manipulations, and mid-air sketching as well as on-surface sketching in the virtual environment. Several tools have been designed to enhance the sense of presence and to make the discussion more effective. We also developed a rollback mechanism to help users intuitively and quickly revert to a previous state of discussion to make some changes or to start a new direction of discussion. To evaluate the system, we conducted an initial user study with 14 participants to assess the user experience, user impression and effectiveness of the system. The feedback from participants were positive and suggested that the system could be effective and useful for supporting architecture design discussion.
