Mixed Reality Advanced Architectural Representation
Session 2A | 11:20 - 12:20 PM
1 AIA LU
Architecture in the digital age is moving towards a democratized design process, and it is better for it. With the increasing accessibility of augmented and virtual reality platforms, design has new opportunities for inclusivity, collaboration, and the streamlining of production, all of which benefit architecture. This session explores advances and applications of AR/VR technologies and their impact on design generation, fabrication, and installation. Christopher McAdams, (PluralVR/Temple University) explores unbuilt worlds in virtual reality and augmented assisted construction processes. Jeffery Anderson and Michael Kipfer (The Toolbelt/Mancini) have created software to change architectural workflows to empower all members of the design process.
