We built a VR daylighting design system for architects to design an indoor daylighting experience. With this system, users can import 3d models or meshes, and interact with the architecture in space. In particular users can draw the lighting areas they want and receive system-generated window opennings, given the sunlight conditions of a specific time and location. This research proposes a reversed design paradigm empowered by virtual reality technology, which puts the design of spatial experience first rather than the design of physical objects. That is, window design is determined as a result of daylighting experience.
