- The author and his girlfriend are building a house and find it challenging to visualize floor plans from 2D PDFs, leading them to use the Vision Pro for immersive 3D walkthroughs.
- They use Fusion 360 to model the floor plan in 3D, adding textures and basic furniture to improve scale perception.
- They import detailed 3D models from IKEA (via a Tampermonkey script) and 3D Warehouse (via an iOS trick) to furnish the virtual space.
- They develop a custom Vision Pro app called 'Prospector' with features like controller support, skybox, terrain following, safety toggling, flight, and speed mode for easier exploration.
- The process shows that with current hardware and some effort, one can realistically preview house designs in VR, making the design process more intuitive and confident.
