Visualization and Collaboration for BIM **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bradley C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2020 **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. **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. **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. **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. **Official Response from Clay Walsh:** > Hi Bradley, thanks for taking the time to write this review of The Wild on G2. We always value our partnership with you and your team. I hope the headset situation has gotten better for you all, and always reach out to Nick if you need anything at all. Also thank you for sharing how The Wild helps you bring everyone into the model in real time....a great way to speed up the decision making process! ### 2. Fast, Compelling and User Friendly **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin H. | Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2021 **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. **What do you dislike about The Wild?** Improved modeling tools in VR and bi-directional syncing would be wonderful features to have. **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. **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. ### 3. Focused architecture pre-vis and collaboration in VR **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel R. | Product Designer - Horizon Worlds, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021 **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. **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 **Recommendations to others considering The Wild:** try importing your sketchup model and exploring a space with another user **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** Exploring remodel options for a residential space. I was able to determine the best space layout for interior options. ### 4. The Wild has been great so far - looking forward to more features **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021 **What do you like best about The Wild?** Ease of use & model uploads Collaboration & meeting with no setup **What do you dislike about The Wild?** Would like more modeling features (additional shapes/premitives), section plane features, and possibly the option for better visuals. (Some kind of rendering snapshot mode?) **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. **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick collaboration and interactive model reviews across different teams and team members. ### 5. Nice collaborative environment to look at static models. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2021 **What do you like best about The Wild?** The ability to have multiple people in at the same time. **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. **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were communicating our vision for our VR experience to each other and collaboratively iterating on ideas that were difficult to refine in 2D mockups alone. ### 6. Amazing smooth communication for remote design studio class **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2020 **What do you like best about The Wild?** We are using this service to communicate with student of architectural design studio course working online in the light of COVID-19. VR is remarkably intuitive to point out adequate scale and dimension of design with conversation. The greatest things of this service is synchronizing speed between remote locations. We can feel being at same space because of no latency of interaction with 3D objects. **What do you dislike about The Wild?** The limit of data upload in month is not much to our use because we have a quit big deviation by period such as end of semester. We have to take a time for data optimization prior to use this service because It is critical to reduce number of polygon for smooth motion in VR as well. Hopefully some application of data optimization are included in the system. **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** To teach student of architecture under remote condition is a tough challenge especially in beginner class. The Wild is solving problems of time consuming of communication about 3D environment. **Official Response from Clay Walsh:** > Thank you for sharing how things are going teaching remote; COVID brought a huge challenge in that regard. We appreciate hearing about the limitations in data upload and we would be happy to discuss that with you at any time (support@thewild.com). Glad you were able to bring students into the model and communicate in real time (remotely). Thanks for the review! ### 7. The tool you need **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2020 **What do you like best about The Wild?** It's really easy to use, you don't need to ve a developer or a 3D expert to interact with the platform. **What do you dislike about The Wild?** Materials are always a big challenge in any 3D platform. I don't like the way I visualize REVIT materials are they are very limited. I would also like to change materials of all 3 D shapes in the VR space, not only the ones I created in The Wild. **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm reducing interpretation and during times of travel restrictions, this tool is really powerful to iterate and make decisions. ### 8. VR on a whole new level **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2020 **What do you like best about The Wild?** The ability to interact with people in VR **What do you dislike about The Wild?** Not being able to toggle the parametric options that are part of the Revit model **Recommendations to others considering The Wild:** Have fun! **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** Virtual platform for showcasing projects to clients ### 9. Sketchup and Skype had a baby **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2019 **What do you like best about The Wild?** Really well designed, and I love how you can have multiple clients experience 3D models together from multiple geographical locations. Love having a desktop option so not everyone has to be in a headset. **What do you dislike about The Wild?** Would love more design tools inside virtual reality **Recommendations to others considering The Wild:** The way working with models in VR should be done, collaboration platforms take note! **What problems is The Wild solving and how is that benefiting you?** Investigating models with clients. Using the ability to gauge depth and scale in virtual reality to sell in ideas. ## The Wild Discussions - [Is The Wild worth it for VR collaboration?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-the-wild-worth-it-for-vr-collaboration) -
