The ICE® 21 release allows more people to experience ICEreality® with added Android and Windows desktop platform compatibility and expanded functionality across a broader range of virtual reality head mounted display hardware. ICE® continues with its roots in video game technology and leverages advances in gaming visualization which are reflected in ICE 21’s and ICEreality’s notably enhanced graphics.
“We maintain our position as the frontrunner of interior construction software with ICE® 21,” says Mark Greffen, CTO of DIRTT. “Our users can create compelling experiences within the ICE® application. We have made it even easier to invite people to join the real time ICE® experience in the cloud.

DIRTTs patented, proprietary ICEreality® technology enables stakeholders in a DIRTT construction project to simultaneously share a cloud-based virtual experience of their space, collaborating from multiple locations with just an internet connection, and to make rapid real-time design decisions with instantaneous feedback on visual design, space usage and pricing. The changes are instantaneously recorded in the project’s ICE® file, complete with detailed manufacturing information, and ready to order.
ICE® began as DIRTT’s solution to conventional construction’s complex process and has since evolved to include defining a superior way to communicate design and construction outcomes to clients, architects, designers and general contractors. ICE® and ICEreality® are protected by over 20 current patents in the United States and Canada. Click
