Why an acoustician should use VR

If you are an acoustician, you might recognize the following scenario. You have been involved with the design of a building, perhaps for years, and think you have a pretty solid understanding of the building. Yet, the first time you do a site visit you will probably think ”Aha, so THIS is what it looks like in real life!” Personally, I know I have had that feeling every single time. With acoustics, this can be a proper challenge. We obviously need a tool that can help us bring out that crucial ”gut feeling” in the design phase. If we have to wait for the site visit to the finished building until we can consult our gut, it is often too late because the critical decisions have already been made. So how can we solve this?
