A data center,
experienced at scale.
A two-level architectural walkthrough built for exhibition visitors, with technically dense rooms and a spoken English-language guided experience.
ENKA Data Center Walkthrough transformed complex architectural information into a navigable, real-time experience demonstrated on Android VR hardware at an exhibition.
The route connected a ground-level entrance and lobby with back-of-house mechanical infrastructure, then continued upstairs to offices and a dedicated data cabinet area. Visitors were accompanied by a virtual robot guide introducing the spaces through English-language narration.
My technical-art contribution centered on preparing Revit-derived geometry for real-time use: reviewing and simplifying complex objects, retopology, optimization and Substance 3D Painter PBR material work.

BIM detail versus
VR constraints.
Preserving a recognizable architectural environment while preparing data that was never modeled for a real-time headset.
A different starting point.
The original Revit-derived dataset exceeded 20 million polygons. BIM-oriented geometry can contain dense, fragmented surfaces and repeated technical details that require a different treatment from a real-time art asset.
The task was to make that complexity manageable through an asset-by-asset art workflow, while retaining key structural elements, equipment silhouettes and material readability. The 20M+ value describes the source material—not the final VR scene budget.

Geometry preparation and material authoring formed the backbone of the project.

Architecture explained,
not just explored.
A virtual robot accompanied visitors and introduced areas through spoken English narration during the Android VR exhibition experience.
A walkthrough with context.
Rather than leaving visitors to interpret every technical space alone, the experience included a virtual robot guide. English-language narration gave a structured layer of explanation as visitors progressed through the two-floor route.
The project combines architectural communication with technical-art production: Revit-derived content preparation, real-time asset treatment and material consistency across public and service environments.
From architectural data
to an exhibition experience.
A compact example of technical art as the bridge between BIM complexity and real-time presentation.
Preserve the design.
Rebuild the data.
ENKA Data Center demonstrates a practical technical-art workflow: interpreting dense Revit source assets, creating more manageable geometry, preparing PBR surfaces and supporting a guided walkthrough on standalone Android VR hardware.
The purpose was clear: make a complex building legible and approachable to exhibition visitors, without reducing the experience to a static architectural image.
