population and their housing needsinspires design for aging professionals to utilize cutting-edge technology such as BIM in designinnovation. This study addressed both academic and industry needs for better solutions toenhance understanding the practice of design for aging, and improve design communication andoutcomes in real world project delivery. To accomplish this goal, this research built the effortsout of a student project and incorporated engineering entrepreneurial mindsets in the propositionof a prototype based upon BIM and game engine integration. The prototype was created toprovide a framework that could transform a static design model into a dynamic and interactivegaming environment, where user-centered and experienced-based
