The idea of the Virtual Worlds Design Hub may have begun long before furlough was ever spoken of, but with many kbb retailers experiencing a boost in sales since lockdown lifted as consumers have looked to invest in home improvements, the service has seen unprecedented demand.

Enabling showrooms to keep up with demand while staffing levels are reduced, the Design Hub is just one of the many ways that Virtual Worlds is helping retailers close sales and increase profitability.

Armed with a basic understanding of a project’s requirements, including style and colour theme, perimeter measurements and location of windows, doors and other fixed features, the Design Hub team will get to work. They will produce a 2D plan, with rendered photo-realistic jpeg images along with a link to the project on design cloud which can be shared with their customer. This link enables consumers to explore the design from the comfort of their own home, moving around and interacting with the design using their tablet or smartphone, keeping the consumer’s interest, and helping you to progress the sale.

Head Designer Lauren Sutton comments: “The Design Hub has been fulfilling an immediate need for assistance from retailers who may have been faced with staffing issues since the onset of the pandemic. It is a service that was launched to provide an overflow for growing businesses and it is fantastic that we have been able to help so many retailers proceed with designs for their customers at this time.”

About Virtual Worlds

Virtual Worlds is the UK market leader in innovation-led CAD technology for the KBB market.  Since launching in 1998, it has broken boundaries in virtual technology innovation – being the first company to develop 3D design software for KBB retailers and, most recently, launching its new 4D Showroom Technology. Virtual Worlds is a division of Logicom Computer Services (UK) Ltd

Virtual Worlds is welcoming a new name on board to its 3D and 4D design software this month, as Private Room begins its kbb journey.

Using Virtual Worlds as its main channel to market, Private Room manufactures distinctive shower trays and complementary fittings designed to transform ordinary bathrooms into spa-like sanctuaries.

In this new collaboration, Private Room is able to offer a virtual showroom tour and design service using the latest Virtual Worlds software, with designers also able to include Private Room products within their projects as the full catalogue is available to Virtual Worlds users.

In a break away from standard white, Private Room’s stone resin shower trays are available in five natural-themed colour schemes, with consumers encouraged to make a choice that complements the room’s décor and accessories, a process that is made simple and enjoyable with Virtual Worlds software.

“The global pandemic has presented challenges for us all, but through adversity comes strength and innovation and we are pleased to be working with Virtual Worlds to offer our customers a new way of designing their dream bathroom,” comments Private Rooms Commercial Director, John Tanner.

“Private Room products are unique and exclusive; we’re passionate about design & quality not numbers which means retailers can design a bathroom using Private Room Shower Tray safe in the knowledge that their client won’t be able to find it online at an unfeasibly low price.”

“By investing in the technology we have been able to offer an online design service to our customers and now our catalogue of products is also available on the software. We hope to improve our showroom experience even further in the not too distant future with the addition of Virtual Worlds 4D Theatre.”

About Virtual Worlds

Virtual Worlds is the UK market leader in innovation-led CAD technology for the KBB market.  Since launching in 1998, it has broken boundaries in virtual technology innovation – being the first company to develop 3D design software for KBB retailers and, most recently, launching its new 4D Showroom Technology.

Many visitors to kbb Birmingham enjoyed their first experience of using virtual reality as a bathroom and kitchen design tool, with the Virtual Worlds 4D Theatre drawing the crowds and receiving an excellent response.

Virtual Worlds has reported feedback was positive, with many users commenting on how personal the experience felt, and that is because the technology is based on neuroscience and leaves nothing to the imagination.

By merging neurological and virtual sensory streams, 4D technology delivers a series of powerful stimuli that provide an experience that is personal, contrastable, tangible, memorable, visual and emotional. Friendly messages are sent to the fast-acting ‘primal brain’, which then permeates to the slower ‘rational brain’, making the user more likely to commit to the design and therefore increasing consumer buy-in.

Not only does the user experience a fully immersive experience where they can ‘step into’ their dream bathroom or kitchen for an unrivalled sense of spatial awareness, with 4D Theatre virtual hands can be changed to match the skin colour of the user and even personal touches such as family photos and children’s artwork can be used as props within the design.

This makes the design process all about the user and once seen, the 4D design stays in the mind of the consumer, prompting a return visit to the showroom, at which point a ‘yes, let’s go ahead,’ is almost guaranteed. So much so that retailers already on board with Virtual Worlds are reporting conversion rates increasing by an average of 50% (with some even hitting 100%), while order values are increasing by around 20% as a direct result of using Virtual Worlds.

As with any new technology, the benefits of 4D Theatre and virtual reality need to be seen to be believed, which is why Virtual Worlds is offering independent retailers the opportunity to increase their sales by 30% by using the software, or their money back.
