How Does Modus VR Work?

Modus VR debuted at the integration industry's CEDIA show in 2018, causing a stir. The virtual reality platform allows designers to create three-dimensional spaces in incredible detail. Elite works with Modus VR software to model your home theater room's dimensions, adding features like windows, doors, wall colors, décor and art, seating, and even flourishes like starry ceiling lights, so you can experience how your finished theater will actually look and feel.

The software gives us many advantages. We can model the relationship between the seating and the screen to ensure that every seat in the house has a clear sightline and proper angles for comfortable viewing. We can also place speakers, whether architectural or freestanding, around the space to evaluate both aesthetic and performance considerations.

Will your theater be more of a media room that also has other uses? We can model a bar and game tables in the plan to see how they will affect the rest of the room. Will your room shape not be a traditional rectangle? The software can accommodate irregular shapes, too, so that we can evaluate the effect of an open or curved wall on the overall design.

How Does Modus VR Help?

No one wants the surprise that something doesn’t look or work the way it was imagined. Modus VR lets you experience how your home theater will look and feel in a way that no pictures or drawings can match. A home theater can be a significant investment, and you want to get the details right.

One issue that is often difficult for our clients to grasp is the concept of standing waves and how they can affect audio performance in a theater. The Modus VR software can help model standing waves – which can affect bass performance and cause auditory fatigue – based on the seating, materials, and furniture in the room. That way, the design can be modified to optimize the seating and ensure that the finished theater delivers the best possible performance.

Modus VR design tools are just one way the professionals at Elite use the latest technology to create the custom home theater you have always wanted.  To learn more, call us today at (636) 939-4474 or visit our contact page.
