Re: View your homes in VR mode
Another option (only for personal use due to licensing) is to use Unreal Engine, but it does take a lot of effort to learn enough about UE to get any results. I had a demo of a basic building I could walk around in VR. It could build an apk for sideloading to an Android handset, and then used Google Cardboard as the viewer. A bluetooth mouse for movement (left button to walk, wheel to change speed forward/backward). I had doors that swung open and shut by proximity, I could climb the stairs. I got a bit stuck trying to get a UI to work that would allow me to control the Sun position in the sky, and then I moved on to other things. I also never got very realistic results, but that is down to me, not the engine obviously. You can look at the Unreal based Twinmotion to see how well Unreal can do ArchViz stuff.
