Design studio Vripack has begun using virtual reality technology to design the next generation of superyachts.

«Vripack designers will travel» through 3D models of the yachts they create with Oculus Rift virtual reality glasses.

It will help not only to estimate from practical point of view the comfort of the interior of the future yacht but also to optimize the design process of its piping system and technical units.

Vripack has been testing and debugging virtual reality technology for a year. This investment in virtual reality is part of a six-year plan by Vripack to reduce its yacht construction time by at least 25 percent.

Using Oculus Rift glasses to work with 3D models of yachts will eliminate the need to build mock-ups and prototypes and thus significantly reduce time spent on the design phase.

Vripack is currently working on the Point Break expedition yacht as well as on the development of the naval architecture for the new range of Fairline Yachts.
