The 3D virtual *House of Horrors *will have thousands of possible defects that are randomly embedded in millions of versions of the training home. Inspectors can fly through and around the home (as if on an actual live inspection) looking for defects. Optional scoring permits the training tool to be used as a fun video game for inspectors.
Attached are a few still shots from the work being done in development of this training tool. However, the two-dimensional PICs don’t really convey the amazing experience of being able to move about a 3D home in virtual reality.
I’ll keep everyone updated as this project progresses.
Nick, this could be a great tool for New inspectors to use as mentored inspections to help them be eligible for better insurance rates. Is there going to be a report that they can fill out as they use this to make it more real?
