**Article Summary. Virtual reality in architecture**

** Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is created with software and presented as a 3D image where users can interact with one another and use and create objects. Most people know this type of technology by using virtual reality games that in these days have become very popular but,it´s important to know that virtual reality is also a tool used by many fields. For example in architecture, it creates buildings designs in 3D, but that’s not all, with 3D software it´s possible to design the outside of buildings and the inside too, making it possible to add details like texture and colors. There are multiple benefits for architecture by using virtual reality, but the most important of them is that the software will estimate if the construction is possible, this tool helps architects to design well, another benefit is that it´s easy to manipulate with different types of shapes in real-time. The 3D architectural software is a useful tool like CAD wich actually it´s a course offered in many institutes.If you want to use it, you have to buy a software specially for architecture but you need to know that your computer must have a good graphics card, to run the software. **
