Development of a tool for architectural design with augmented reality and scale models

Abstract

Augmented Reality or Mixed Reality is a technology to extend or enhance human senses by putting the CG which is processed by computer into the real world. The authors developed a tool for architectural design, using AR/MR and scale model. This tool enables the review by superimposing CG on the model. In addition, the authors proposed the solution of the problem of occlusion and optical integrity. In this paper, the authors report implementation details and preliminary experimental results of this tool.
