Overview
IrisVR Prospect, now an Autodesk company following the acquisition of The Wild, serves as a high-fidelity immersive design review tool specifically engineered for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals. Its technical architecture focuses on one-click optimization of complex BIM data from sources like Revit, Navisworks, and Rhino into a VR-ready format. In the 2026 market landscape, IrisVR remains a dominant force by bridging the gap between desktop-bound BIM modeling and collaborative spatial decision-making. The platform specializes in processing heavy geometry and preserving critical BIM metadata, allowing stakeholders to inspect properties like material types and structural dimensions in a 1:1 scale environment. It utilizes a proprietary rendering engine optimized for low-latency VR experiences, which is crucial for preventing motion sickness in non-technical stakeholders. By integrating directly into Autodesk's ecosystem, it provides a seamless workflow for clash detection visibility and design sign-offs, significantly reducing the RFI cycle and project rework costs. Its 2026 positioning emphasizes 'Spatial Coordination,' where multiple remote users can meet inside a model with full avatar presence to solve complex coordination issues in real-time.
