"Visualization and Collaboration for BIM"

4/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

Multi user collaboration in a Virtual Reality environment is a unique capability that helps make decisions faster. The ability to see options and change them out during FF&E meetings is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

There are some challenges with integrating non VR headset users into the meetings to participate in the discussion and decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Wild:

The biggest differentiator is the collaborative environment... make sure you have more than 2 power VR users to take full advantage of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Building Information Models in all of our Design Build projects. It is extremely important to get timely feedback in both 2D documentation and our model environments. The Wild helps bring stakeholders into the design model environment to pick out fixtures and finishes in real time with our team. This greatly speeds up the feedback loop from the owners to the designers before we ever get in the field with our construction team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very useful tool for dynamic user engagement"

5/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

The Wild has hit the sweet spot creating platform for collaborative VR that is easy to use and very effective. They have been able to provide an effective and useful tool set without slowing down or complicating our workflow. We looked at other collaborative VR platforms but they all missed on ease of use, technical constraints, UX and willingness to engage and understand our needs. We recently used The Wild to gather feedback from end users (located in another city) to resolve come critical usability issues. The ability for them to see and move about the environment and for us to change the design based on their feedback in real time gave us high confidence all parties understood the problems and that the outcome would address their need. It will be a game-changer for how we operate as a team and engage with our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

We have some issues with managing secure data for government projects and for including digital human mannequins. Having said that they have been very helpful, they have listened to our problems and either provided workarounds or identified how these are being addressed in the product development work. We have approached various companies that offer VR collaborative tools with our problems, none of them interested in really listening to us. The Wild listened, and we could see the tool evolve rapidly from a good tool to a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Wild:

We are impressed with the product, one of the important considerations is their willingness to listen and confidence they will continue to develop the software to meet our needs. It enables the design team to explore a wide range of ideas and concepts quickly and is also a powerful end user engagement tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to operate on layout and design with our team spread over a number of sites. We can go quickly from idea, to CAD to VR enabling us to understand problems and develop solutions quickly and effectively. We have been able to engage our stakeholders, share ideas and gather feedback that enables us to make better, quicker design decisions. Our clients and user groups are located all over Australia, this tool cuts through the problems with video conferencing and provides the rich engagement necessary for our human centred design process.

"The easiest way to share an idea in VR so far"

"We have had a good experience with The Wild."

4.5/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

For us, it is helpful to be able to inhabit the digital spaces, especially now that we are primarily working remotely. The AR component offers functionalities that we cannot get from Enscape or other rendering engines. Digital commenting, markups and real-time changes are even more important now that we are remote. I like that you can have multiple people inhabiting a space with varying skill levels - not everyone needs to be a confident operator with a VR headset. Since we do so much client-facing work, it's just not realistic to expect that they all will have the same comfort levels or tech-savvy that we will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

Having never used AR before, there is a bit of a learning curve, and I feel like things aren't super intuitive (for me). With that said, it seems like I will get the hang of it over time, but perhaps there could be more guiding instructions for beginner users? I also wish that you could see who is on your team - before I became a Team Admin I was not able to find the list of members in the desktop app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Wild:

The Wild offers capabilities beyond that of Enscape and rendering engines, because you have the added layer of virtual collaboration and markups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned above, it helps us inhabit digital spaces. This is helpful because many clients don't have drawing literacy - they haven't spent years looking at floor plans and therefore don't totally understand what they are signing off on. For us, we are more confident in feedback when we know the client has been "inside" the space and really understood it from an experiential perspective. In addition, being able to add a markup or comment in real-time is great because it feels natural - with Enscape or other rendering platforms it always feels a little clumsy trying to document feedback and bring it back to the model.

"Fast, Compelling and User Friendly"

4/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

The Wild lets us quickly move from modeling to VR and allows different levels of immersion based on user experience. Asynchronous access is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

Improved modeling tools in VR and bi-directional syncing would be wonderful features to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Wild:

Changing existing workflows can be challenging. Encourage Project Managers and Project Architects to integrate The Wild into their regular design meetings. Issues that might take a number of conference calls and emails to resolve can be quickly resolved, saving both time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use The Wild to evaluate both design and constructability. It lets us talk about how spaces feel and how things should be constructed in addition to identify conflicts between consultant's models and our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focused architecture pre-vis and collaboration in VR"

4/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

The Wild shows a singular focus on helping non-technical users explore both grey-box and imported architectural spaces. I appreciate that distractions are kept to a minimum and that it's very easy to mock up a new space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

While the abstract avatars are cute, I'd like the option to use more realistic and personalzied avatars Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use & model uploads

Collaboration & meeting with no setup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like more modeling features (additional shapes/premitives), section plane features, and possibly the option for better visuals. (Some kind of rendering snapshot mode?) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering The Wild:

If your team is looking for an option for interactive model viewing collaboration with great interactive tools and low to moderate visual quality, I would highly recommend trying The Wild. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick collaboration and interactive model reviews across different teams and team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is simple to use and works with wireless headsets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

It only works with small, simple models. We have to split our models or reduce its detail to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice collaborative environment to look at static models."

4/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

The ability to have multiple people in at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

It is difficult to explain to stakeholders how to control their avatar/camera. We stopped putting them in (oculus quest & in desktop version) and just started screensharing. After a while, only our design team jumped in.

We stopped using it because it didn't allow for creating any interactive elements. On proximity triggers, billboarding, tag-along. Immersive, diegetic UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Client Collaboration Goes to the Next Level"

5/5

What do you like best about The Wild?

Working with clients collaboratively in new immersive ways. Being able to use consultants spread around the country and world without the time, expense and hassle of travel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Wild?

Extended periods of wearing a VR headset can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems of not being able to meet face to face and having consultants and clients at a distance has made collaboration more difficult. However, with The Wild we have been able to get client feedback on very specific things with ease and at a great distance without the travel time and expense. In complicated building programs, clients are better equipped to understand the building solution and their expectation levels are set correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
