Augmenting Blueprints: A Mobile AR Viewer for Architectural Prototypes

This project presents a cutting-edge smartphone application for Augmented Reality (AR) that aims to transform the way product prototypes are visualized. Using the Unity game creation engine, the application enables users to import high-quality 3D models from the Unity Asset Store and use mobile devices to seamlessly integrate them into their physical environment. The main objective is to give experts working in architecture, design, and construction an immersive platform to view and assess prototypes in authentic settings.With its user-friendly design, the application makes it easy to navigate around the augmented reality environment. The main feature of the installation is a finely detailed 3D model of a house that rotates slowly by default. With the help of this rotating feature, people may see the structure in its entirety from a variety of perspectives. A user-controlled button adds another level of engagement by enabling people to stop the rotation and examine particular elements or features at their own leisure. From a methodological standpoint, the project makes use of Unity’s powerful features to integrate 3D assets seamlessly and render in real time. The seamless and captivating user experience is guaranteed by the meticulous synchronization of rotation and model positioning controls. Preliminary findings demonstrate the application’s successful rollout across many Android devices, successfully converting existing environments into dynamic canvases for architectural inquiry.This AR Prototype Viewer is important because it can help close the gap between conceptual design and real-world construction evaluation. The Augmented Reality Prototype Viewer for Construction Design is a ground-breaking tool that provides a window into the future of architectural visualization by combining state-of-the-art technology with useful functionality.
