Applications of Cubical Perspective in Architecture, Engineering and Product Design

Cubical perspective is maybe the youngest alternative among the options for immersive drawing. Its theoretical definition, as every immersive perspective, has its own pros and cons. Furthermore, its utility was not fully explored e.g. for early conceptual design. Effectively, while its theory is on its way to be solved with different methods, there is still a doubtful judgement about the practice: Is cubical perspective a way to think? A tool? Can we do something really different with it or are we just playing with technology? Let us try to give some answers to these questions by presenting some experiences held in university classrooms. We are presenting the experience of students from architecture, engineering and product design courses that have applied cubical perspective to go from the creation of simple immersive panoramas to the complex montage of virtual tours. This article, more than to close a discussion, aims to open the debate about the real applications and utility of cubical perspective and push its experimentation.
