Metaverse+CAD+and+BIM+design

=Descriptive paragraph = ===In the gallery there is an interesting photograph which is related to the buildings and the landscape. At the back are the blue sky and a beach. In front of the beach, there are two houses. The house in the center of the picture is brown. It has two floors with big windows on the ground floor and three small windows up-stairs. The house beside it is beige, its ceiling is brown and it has small windows. The houses are surrounded by palms. At that moment there were two people touring the place, and they were near the brown house. This is a very good picture because you can see the buildings with a beautiful landscape. ===



=Metaverse = ===A metaverse is a virtual world in which people can create an avatar and chat with other people and interact with their avatars. A metaverse is like a second life because you really can spend a lot of time doing different activities like visiting other people, going shopping, creating your own firm, and other activities. It is really fun and in some metaverses people can get married too. Many people don’t regard the metaverse only like a play; they regard the virtual life like their real second life. === ===An example of a metaverse can be the virtual desing studios (VDS). It is like a physical design studio but you can access it over the network and you don’t need to be at the physical space for working in a project. Dr Simoff said an interesting comment about that: “the location of designers irrelevant… because the workspace of the studio is distributed across the net”. === ===The collaboration at VDS can be a single work where each participant has his own design problem, or group work where there is a design problem and each participant is responsible of a part of this project. === ===In this way, the communication can be synchronous where all the participant can interact simultaneously, or asynchronous where the participant work at different times and don’t need the simultaneous presence of all the members. === ===I think that metaverse is an interesting form to interact with other people and it is a new way for all the people that want to spend their time, meet other people or even work. ===


 

CAD & BIM

 * CAD and BIM are both programs to draw and design. But which one is better? Both are programs used to represent objects that will be made later and they work in 3D. While CAD is used to design a variety of objects like buildings, tools and machinery, BIM is used only to design buildings, so it provides more information about it, like the spatial relationship of the building, the materials details, the processes of construction and more. BIM provide more specific information than CAD, however CAD may be easier to use than BIM. Both are very useful programs to design and the people choose which one is more advantageous for them, therefore none is better than the other. **
