AR/VR and Academic Mentorship for Interior Design Students at Rachana Sansad, Mumbai

From 15 to 30 June 2026, Tejas Hoskatti, Founder of SkillUp Circle, served as Electives Mentor for Semester V of the T.Y. B.Voc. Interior Design program (academic session 2026–27) at Rachana Sansad Academy of Architecture, Mumbai. Within this elective, SkillUp Circle delivered a 10-day Future-Ready Interior Design workshop on AR/VR and 3D visualisation.

The 15–30 June dates describe the official elective period; they are not a count of teaching days. The workshop introduced practical workflows for 3D visualisation, virtual walkthroughs and immersive design communication.

Electives Mentorship and Workshop Delivery

The engagement combined two roles. As Electives Mentor, Tejas Hoskatti was appointed by Rachana Sansad Academy of Architecture to guide the Semester V interior design elective during the 2026–27 academic session. As workshop trainer, he led the AR/VR component, in which students worked on 3D visualisation, virtual walkthroughs and immersive design communication.

Bringing Interior Spaces to Life Through Technology

Modern interior designers increasingly work with digital tools that help clients and collaborators understand a space before construction or installation begins.

The workshop connected design thinking with emerging visualisation technologies.

The program’s curriculum covered:

• Spatial planning and 3D modelling: Transforming design ideas into digital environments.
• Blender-based workflows: Preparing and refining three-dimensional interior models.
• Rendering and visual presentation: Communicating material, lighting and spatial decisions.
• Virtual walkthroughs: Creating navigable visual experiences of interior spaces.
• 360-degree virtual tours: Presenting interiors through immersive panoramic experiences.
• VR-ready design: Understanding how digital scenes can be prepared for immersive viewing.

Connecting Design Education With Industry Workflows

The program emphasised more than learning software commands.

Students explored how technology supports communication, design validation, presentation and collaboration throughout an interior design project.

These skills are relevant to architecture, interior design, furniture, real estate visualisation and other creative industries.

Immersive Technology Workshops for Creative Institutions

SkillUp Circle develops customised AR/VR and technology-led learning programs for colleges teaching interior design, architecture, animation and other creative disciplines.

Training can cover modelling, visualisation, prototype development, immersive presentations and project-based learning.
