How VR, AI, and Lidar Could Streamline Architectural Design

Last week I had a passing a chat with an architect, having been in property for 15 years in my early life, I have a deep understanding of an industry that hasn't changed really since the days of CAD and the 2HB pencil.

I immediately thought that there has to be a faster and cheaper way of designing houses, extensions, even master planning. So thinking on my feet I told him my ideas, but what ensued was a 30 minute discussion and pushback on why this would never catch on. To add context, the individual identified himself as an architectural "technologist".
