BloomShell: Augmented Reality for the assembly and real-time modification of complex curved structure

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) as a new technical tool has developed rapidly in the last few years and has now the potential of bridging the gap between holographic drawings and the real world. This paper addresses whether AR can guide unskilled labour on complex structure assembly and fabrication process. It contains three experiments developed with AR. The research aims to prove that with intuitive holographic instructions, AR helps to reduce the time spent in comparing 2D drawings to the real site during the assembly process, and therefore offers possibilities to improve the construction efficiency significantly. The research also paves the way for shell structures, considering the latest technology such as AR and AI, and gives emphasis on the communication between computer and human during the fabrication process through the physical model. It is an exploration of how people might change their mind or decisions can be changed in a real-time manner harmoniously using AI through AR.
