Project
Construction projects come to success when stakeholders from the private and the public sector as well as the general public work hand in hand. All the data is already created digitally but oftentimes it is not easily accessible to all stakeholders. This showcase for Android devices shows how Augmented Reality (AR) makes construction projects more accessible and understandable to a wide audience. And it demonstrates what is currently possible with the excellent survey data provided by swisstopo combined with newly available Cloud and Web technologies.
In the application, a planned development can be embedded in a three-dimensional environment model from swisstopo. The virtual scene including the project is created to be viewed in 3D and to be shared with any stakeholder. The model can be placed in space using the AR function. This visualization helps to convey the base idea of complex building projects, so that stakeholders can inform themselves quicker and communicate with their peers effectively.
