AR for Architecture

Fablab | University of Johannesburg

AR (augmented reality) for architecture is a series of step-by-step AR visualisations that explain the basics of construction to architects, contractors and civil engineers. The project was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, when students had no access to construction sites. With this educational tool, students can view not just the sequence in which construction takes place, but also alternative scenarios and advanced technologies all within SANS guidelines. The tool has also been used to facilitate testing and 3D visualisation of 2D drawings.
