Imagine having the ability to see and feel the immediate impact of design changes or train muscle memory in dangerous and complex environments (construction sites or factory floors) but do so in the safety of a virtual world? These technologies offer a fundamental shift in how we perceive and interact with digital and physical things and allow our customers \u2013 and their customers \u2013 to interact with designs at human scale and simulate them as if they are already built and functioning. At Autodesk, our open ecosystem puts actionable data and content at the center of new AR\/VR workflows. But how does our 3D data move into a VR, AR or real-time experience?

This enables them to make better-informed decisions about the outcome of designs, projects, and productions. And because Unity reaches 25+ platforms spanning the worlds of AR, VR and mobile, projects can be seen and experienced on almost any device, from anywhere. <div id=\"attachment_4418\" style=\"width: 862px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4418\" class=\"wp-image-4418\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/London-Office-1024x648.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/London-Office-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/London-Office-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2018\/11\/London-Office.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Architectural design of Unity\u2019s London office, made with Unity and Autodesk 3ds Max<\/em><\/p><\/div> These future integrations will enable: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Revit<\/strong>: Users can turn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/revit\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Revit<\/a> models into an immersive experience with one click, helping architects virtually understand, explore, and share their designs with various project stakeholders.
