Virtual Reality Center
Assam | Command Center | Interior Design
The Virtual Reality Centre has been designed to deliver a highly immersive experience while deliberately moving away from the conventional rectangular spatial character of the existing structure. Although the building shell is orthogonal and column-bound, the interior design reorients and reshapes the space to create a dynamic, fluid and technology-driven environment that supports both functionality and visual impact.
To break the rigidity of the rectangular room, the primary video wall has been placed at a 45-degree angle, transforming the spatial perception and improving viewing ergonomics. This strategic orientation allows the layout to accommodate 22 efficiently planned workstations while also enabling the full utilisation of corner spaces, which would otherwise remain underused. The angled geometry enhances sightlines and strengthens the sense of immersion within the VR environment.
The ceiling and wall treatments have been designed as a system of multiple layers and planes, allowing for indirect and programmable lighting that reinforces the digital, futuristic character of the space. At the same time, the design carefully respects all existing site services, including air-conditioning ducts, sprinkler systems and firefighting provisions, integrating them seamlessly within the new ceiling framework without compromising performance or safety.
The existing entry doors were retained and used as a design opportunity to create a clear functional hierarchy. Separate VIP and service entries have been planned, ensuring smooth circulation, operational efficiency and controlled movement without visual or functional conflict.
A previously underutilized blind spot within the room has been transformed into a functional surface and ramp zone, adding depth and improving circulation while freeing up more area for active seating and workstation use. This intervention converts a spatial limitation into a design advantage.
Opposite the video wall, the pantry zone has been elevated into a visual focal point through a triangular illuminated ceiling feature, referred to as a “light wheel.” This ceiling element is further enhanced with a refined material palette of glossy white surfaces, black glass and matte vinyl film, creating a subtle yet powerful contrast that reinforces the centre’s high-tech identity.
The structural column, which remains a dominant element within the space, has been thoughtfully treated with a combination of mirror finish and acoustic panelling. A sculpted ceiling cut-out around the column visually lightens its mass, amplifying vertical volume and reducing its intrusive presence, while also contributing to acoustic comfort.
Overall, the interior design transforms a structurally constrained space into a visually expansive, immersive and technologically expressive environment, aligning perfectly with the purpose of the Virtual Reality Centre and Oil India Limited’s values of innovation, precision and forward-looking energy leadership.
