DesignEdge from Patterson Dental now has a virtual reality option that enables you to actually walk through a dental practice instead of simply viewing a two-dimensional layout or three-dimensional rendering. So, how does it work?

You enter the 3D virtual practice the moment you put on the Oculus Rift headset. As you turn your head, your view changes, just as though you were glancing around the room.

In your hands, you have a video game controller – this enables you to walk through rooms and throughout the practice, changing your perspective. See a piece of equipment you’d like to learn more about? Just select it and information pops up. Want to see what’s behind a certain door? Open it. It’s the most realistic way to view a practice, without actually being in one.
