//[|Virtual|Virtual reality and digital modeling go on trial for a federal courtroom design]//.
Some judges from misisipi are part of a pilot project launched by the General Services Administration (GSA) to use virtual reality in the design process. Twice last year, the judge could see the new courtroom of Jackson long before its construction, and, in this way, the design team could find some problems in the courtroom design. Apart from preventing errors, 3D representations reproduced a life-size virtual model of the courtroom and the most important is that it allowed to improve the design before construction; therefore, the investment was not wasted.

I think that this new technology is very important for architecture because we can used it to improve our projects. And this kind of programs where we can view some spaces in 3D is not only useful for designing a courtroom but also it helps to see how people interact in these places, and how it would look in the real world.
