Scale model on the table
No markers: the project at 1:10 or 1:50, which each student rotates and looks at from every side.
E-SPACE in education
For universities, faculties and students: see the project at scale in the studio, set out in the classroom and learn Grasshopper with parameters you move with your hands.
Universities and faculties
E-SPACE takes what you design in Rhino and Grasshopper into the real space of the studio, the classroom or the practice building site. A course can show a project at 1:1 or a scale model at 1:10 on a table, and change the definition's parameters in front of the students.
The Classroom plan
It is designed so that many people use E-SPACE at the same time, each with their own computer. Prices are not defined yet: they are quoted according to the size of the institution.
- Everything in the Pro plan.
- 30 floating Rhino seats: up to 30 people at once, whoever each one is.
- Up to 30 viewers in total and 6 per session.
- An administrator teacher adds and removes students and sees who is using the seats.
- Sold by invoice. Data travels over the classroom network. An internet connection is needed to verify the accounts.

Ways to use it in class
Setting out in the studio
Anchored with QR on a studio wall to check position and tilt piece by piece.
Live Grasshopper
The definition's sliders appear in the viewer: change them on the spot and see the result instantly. Ideal for teaching parametric design.
Reviewing submissions
One person runs the session and several join with a phone or headset: everyone sees the same model with the same layers and views.
Students
- Free Basic plan. With a free account you sync Rhino and Grasshopper with the viewer, anchor with QR, by hand or on a table, and move, rotate and scale pieces with your hands. See what it includes.
- You can start with your Android phone. You do not need a mixed reality headset to try it.
- Examples and videos to learn: in Resources you will find Grasshopper definitions to download and instructional videos.
- Educational terms: we are building terms for students and teachers with an institutional email. Write to us and we will let you know.
What you need
- Rhino 8 for Windows (8.35 or newer), with your Rhino license: E-SPACE does not include it.
- A viewer (Meta Quest 3 or an Android phone compatible with ARCore) on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer.
- An E-SPACE account, also for the free plan.
