Virtual Reality
Prompt-Based 360° Environments
Situation
Immersive concepting is slow when every environment requires traditional 3D production. Teams need faster ways to explore spatial hypotheses for VR, previsualization, and research communication.
Challenge
Use generative AI as a production system for equirectangular 360° environments with spherical continuity and a grounded point of view usable in VR viewers.
Research
Tested prompt workflows for atmosphere, architecture, and narrative coherence under wrap-around projection constraints. Documented failure modes: seams, unstable horizons, and prompts that ignore embodied viewing.
Strategy
Run generative models inside a controlled pipeline: prompt systems, review criteria, and projection-ready outputs for exploration.
Execution
Produced VR-ready panoramic prototypes and published an interactive 360° viewer experience for evaluation.
Results
A repeatable AI-assisted workflow for rapid immersive sketching and spatial concept exploration.
Reflection
Reliable immersive output depends on prompt discipline and a review loop inside a controlled pipeline.
