Virtual reality will be very real at this January’s Lightovation show.
Starting on January 10th and running through the 14th visitors will see the world premiere of the first-ever Metaverse Lighting TrendHouse, taking place at Lightovation This groundbreaking initiative represents a significant leap forward in the realm of residential design and lighting, offering a truly immersive 3D innovative experience for industry professionals.
The TrendHouse will be able to be viewed by Lightovation attendees in a special exhibition kiosk both as a 3D virtual walkthrough individual experience and via the metaverse space experience, where multiple people can join in and explore together, as avatars, at the same time.
Lightovation attendees will have the choice to explore both spaces wearing a virtual reality headset provided by Dallas Market Center, or without one.
Both the virtual walkthrough and the metaverse experiences of the TrendHouse will be virtual representations of a fully furnished and curated home, meticulously designed to showcase the latest trends in lighting, home décor and technology that reflect the 2024 Lightovation Trend Report, which has been curated by global trend forecaster Patti Carpenter and presented by Furniture Lighting and Decor magazine for the show.
By leveraging advanced virtual reality technology, attendees, if they choose to wear the virtual reality glasses, will have the unique opportunity to explore every aspect of the TrendHouse, whether as a one-on-one experience in the virtual walkthrough space or as a community-based experience in the metaverse space, as if they were physically present.
