FOCAL POINT: John, a 75-year-old retiree.
John had spent decades in the comfort of his home—a place filled with memories and familiarity. After a fall left him with limited mobility, his family faced an agonizing decision: move him to a care facility or find a way to make his home safer. With mounting hospital bills and emotional strain, they sought a solution to help John retain his independence.
Within days, a local technician created a digital twin of John’s home—a complete 3D replica. Using this tool, they collaborated with a certified aging-in-place designer to virtually plan modifications, such as widening doorways for John’s wheelchair, adding grab bars, and enhancing lighting.
The digital twin eliminated uncertainty. Contractors relied on precise visualizations to complete renovations swiftly and with minimal disruption. John, meanwhile, previewed his redesigned space and shared his input, ensuring it felt like home. His favorite armchair stayed in its sunny corner, while every adjustment prioritized his safety and comfort.
“Dad’s biggest fear was losing the home he loved,” shared John’s daughter, Sarah. “Picturethis3D didn’t just make his home safer—it gave him peace of mind. Knowing he’s in a safe space designed for him is priceless.”
John’s story exemplifies Picturethis3D’s mission: empowering individuals to live safely and comfortably in their homes. Through the Living in Place initiative, the company is transforming homes into havens, one digital twin at a time.
