Practical use of augmented reality.

Quite interesting practicability of augmented reality. Really helping people.

Augmented Reality: Collage

This is the ultimate picture of my proposal.


Student (or architect) has model to present.


Critics (or clients) come to understand the proposed architecture model. Exterior looking good but people need to know the construction detail or interior detail in order to gain better understanding.


Augmented Reality technology is adopted to help people to understand the design and architecture in detail.


This is the ultimate picture that I want to achieve.

Augmented Reality: Prototype


Initially I tried to assign plan drawings on model. I applied little 3D flavour into this 2D plan drawings. Instead of assign this model onto 2D picture, I assigned it onto 3D contoured model and it still works fine. This worked out well and it has huge potential. For the matter of loading time, it didn't take that long to load this level of complexity as it was on University's  Wi-Fi internet connection. I plan to find out the relationship between complexity of the model and loading time in different networks.

‘Boy A has an architectural presentation tomorrow morning. He made a house model. He has a house model to present but he wanted to emphasize more in detail of the house rather than exterior which is already presented by his model. It’s going to be a free flowing presentation this time so there is not a set time for him to present his work to everyone. So he decided to use Junaio augmented reality technology for people and critics. By using this he won’t have to repeat what is inside and how it was constructed also he won’t have to spend time on explaining model’s interior and details. He assigned simple detail drawings and floor plan to specific point of the model so when people looking at particular spot with their smart phone they can understand what is behind and how it was made. He was concerned about loading time as there is no wifi available at the venue but 3g network. So he decided to use simple smaller 2D image file to minimize loading time.’  This story tells about my proposal. My idea is about how I can improve instantaneity and practicability of this new technology in our everyday life. Instantaneity of loading within presentation plays big role. Longer loading time won’t attract people. And to achieve better practicability I apply this idea into our everyday life presentation. Cutting loading time and not so complicated (e.g 2D plan, smaller 3D model file) virtual reality will minimize new users antipathy against new advanced technology.
