Read the first 7 Technology & Digital Applications flashcards as text

  1. Which technology allows a client to virtually walk through a completed interior design before construction begins?

    Answer: Virtual Reality (VR)

    VR headsets render immersive 3D environments so clients can experience spatial relationships and finishes at full scale before anything is built.

  2. What does DPI stand for, and why does it matter when preparing images for printed presentations?

    Answer: Dots per inch; higher DPI produces sharper, higher-quality prints

    DPI measures print resolution; images intended for professional printing typically require at least 300 DPI to appear crisp and detailed.

  3. Which cloud-based platform is specifically designed for real-time collaborative interior design and space planning?

    Answer: Planner 5D

    Planner 5D is a cloud-based tool that lets multiple users collaborate on 2D floor plans and 3D room visualizations in real time.

  4. In Adobe Photoshop, what is the function of a 'clipping mask' when used on a material texture layer?

    Answer: It confines the texture to the shape of the layer directly below it

    A clipping mask restricts a layer's visibility to the opaque area of the layer beneath it, enabling precise texture placement on surfaces.

  5. What is augmented reality (AR) used for in the interior design sales process?

    Answer: Overlaying virtual furniture onto a live camera view of a real room

    AR apps like IKEA Place let clients point their phone camera at a room and see how virtual furniture will look in the actual space.

  6. Which lighting simulation software is widely used by interior designers to predict daylight levels and energy performance?

    Answer: DIALux

    DIALux is professional lighting calculation software that models natural and artificial light to meet comfort and energy standards.

  7. What is the primary advantage of using a parametric design tool over traditional CAD drafting for interior projects?

    Answer: Changes to one element automatically update all related elements and documentation

    Parametric tools store relationships between elements, so modifying a wall height, for example, instantly adjusts connected ceilings, doors, and schedules.
