The aim of this thesis is to understand how Virtual Reality works, what are its weaknesses and how to improve on them. It also tries to make use of Virtual Reality for architects. In this thesis, problems and limitations of Virtual Reality are discussed, how Virtual Reality can be used for architecture, how realistic graphics can be made and how Unreal Engine 4, a game development engine, can be used as a creation tool. As a result, an application was made to be used with both a Virtual Reality kit and with regular PC with keyboard and mouse. This application is a virtual tour of an apartment where furniture can be moved around, and their materials can be changed in real-time.
