Visualisering av augmented reality i byggbranschen

Sammanfattning

Augmented reality is a technology that

combines the perception and interaction of

virtual objects with the real world. It

can allow a user to visually see computer

generated models and information

interacting with the real world through a

hand held device such as a tablet

computer. This opens up a range of

possibilities, especially in the

construction sector. A construction site

is permanently changing and the need for

precise and updated information is

crucial. The ability to enhance the real

world with virtual objects and information

may make many plans printed on paper

absolete.

This report describes how workers in the

construction sector would benefit from

using augmented reality on a tablet in

numerous situations and the technology

needed to achieve AR on a tablet. A

conceptual video which shows a possible

future use of the technique has also been

made as part of the thesis work.
