Interface Multimedia is a leading creator of digital 360 VR movies in Washington, D.C. For almost 30 years Interface has worked with real estate and development professionals to create archviz solutions that tell a story. Virtual reality and virtual reality movies offer unique immersive experiences and serve as valuable marketing tools.

What is a 360 VR Movie or 360 VR Video?

A 360 VR movie combines the scripted path of a traditional animation, keeping your prospects attention where you would like it, with the high impact of a virtual reality environment allowing the user to look in all directions at their own discretion during the tour. 360 VR Movies also allow the presenter to pause and highlight key features. 360 VR Movies are much easier to navigate than a real-time 3D environment.

VR Experience

Recent applications of this 360 VR Movie technique have included both penthouse condominiums at AMARIS, along The District Wharf in Washington, DC and a new performing arts venue, Capital One Hall in Tysons, VA. On the commercial side, IFMM partnered with Forest City and Brookfield to use the technique during the reinvention of Ballston Quarter in Arlington, VA.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of architectural visualization does Interface Multimedia produce?

expand_more

We produce the full range — from static 3D renderings and floor plans through architectural animation, 4D construction sequences, 360 VR tours, real-time VR environments, and CGI visual effects. Our visualization team includes trained architects and 3D artists who understand building systems, materials, and spatial design, which means the work is technically accurate as well as visually compelling. We have produced visualization for projects ranging from the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian to large-scale military housing programs and mixed-use developments across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region.

What is 4D construction animation and when is it used?

expand_more

4D construction animation adds the dimension of time to a 3D model, showing how a building is assembled phase by phase. It is used to communicate construction sequencing to stakeholders, investors, community boards, and project teams. We pioneered this technique for projects like the National Museum of African American History and Culture, where the animation helped the Smithsonian communicate the complexity of the build to multiple audiences. It is particularly valuable for large infrastructure, institutional, and mixed-use projects where construction phasing affects surrounding communities.

Do you produce film and video content in addition to renderings?

expand_more

Yes. Our film and production capabilities include scriptwriting, storyboarding, talent search, on-camera interviews, video editing, and CGI visual effects. We produce project films, brand videos, documentary-style content, and marketing reels. Because our film team works alongside visualization and brand, the video content is integrated with your broader marketing system rather than produced as a standalone piece. We have a full production pipeline from concept through post-production.

Can visualization be used before a project is approved or funded?

expand_more

Absolutely — that is often when it has the most impact. Renderings and animations help secure approvals, attract investment, and align stakeholders around a shared vision when the project exists only on paper. Our rendering of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center helped secure a $60 million donation. Visualization gives decision-makers something tangible to evaluate and gets projects funded and approved faster.

What is the difference between your VR and rendering services?

expand_more

Renderings are static or animated images produced from 3D models — they communicate a designed perspective of the project. VR experiences — including 360 tours, real-time VR, and immersive walkthroughs — allow the viewer to move through the space interactively. We offer both because they serve different purposes: renderings are ideal for marketing materials, websites, and presentations, while VR is used for sales centers, investor presentations, and stakeholder engagement where the audience needs to experience the space themselves.
