Inspiration
Augmented reality, or AR for short, is one of the most talked-about technology trends in construction. Using the advanced camera and sensor technology, AR combines one’s physical surroundings with computer-generated information and presents it in real-time. While the technology has been used in video games for years, this “augmented” experience is recently making waves in construction, offering immense opportunities to improve the project lifecycle. By combining digital and physical views, augmented reality is helping construction teams drive more efficiency, accuracy, and overall confidence in their projects. The AR global market is expected to grow $90 billion by 2020. Rather than replacing workers on the field, AR can be used to greatly enhance the ways humans and digital machines work together. As technology continues to mature and become adopted, augmented reality in construction will become an invaluable tool and has the potential to change the future of the building.
What it does
Visualize AR projects the pre-built 3D model on the physical construction plan, provides different angles and methods to look and visualize at it.
How I built it
It is built on unity3d, using the echoar cloud. The Image target is a random one chosen from google.
Challenges I ran into
Integrating echoar with Unity3d.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We could make the Model responsive to the given input.
What I learned
Integrating unity and echoar.
What's next for Visualize AR
Make it a real-time app for particular constructions using BIM, as unity has Unity-reflect we could use that as well, host our models either on echoar/reflect.
