For the second artefact, I wanted to be more direct and find out the opinion of a private client. I have found a family that are building a house; they have supplied me with the 2D AutoCAD designs. Using those designs, the product I created is a full 3D exterior view of their house.
I created many visualization images showing the exterior of the house from different angles and then created a questionnaire to get my required information from the family of four. This is what I found out;
• I supplied the family with both types of images, realistic and artistic and 3 out of the 4 preferred the realistic images. This is further proof as mentioned in the previous artefact.
• As a client, all members of the family require more visualization media than just images. In the past only images were supplied with the technical drawings, now we have 3D videos and user interactive.
• All members of the family expect the images to be supplied with the technical drawings by the architect and 3 wouldn’t mind paying if charged. Majority of the architecture firms now provide visualization images, but many charge extra depending on the size and types of media.
• When asked to spot potential changes in the design, both parents said they were not able to. This proves that either a 3D video or user interactive is important.
• Surprisingly, 2 members of the family would not pay for a 3D video but all would pay for a user interactive.
For the next artefact, I will create a 3D video to show the interior of the house and then create a questionnaire to find out specific information from the private family client.
