DESCRIPTION:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term incorporating virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality technologies. The use of XR in architecture and construction is rapidly gaining momentum in both academic and professional settings. XR platforms, as an extension of digital modeling proficiency and design thinking, presents a new educational paradigm as this area of expertise becomes more widespread and in demand.<\/p>

The Fall \u201822 STRG studio will build on recent efforts within the group to experiment with augmented reality (AR) systems as they pertain to architectural workflows and representation. Our Spring \u201922 piloting studio was focused on the use of AR in new fabrication and digitally augmented hand-crafting techniques. This semester will focus primarily on AR imaging in real-time; data-driven holograms calibrated that visualize the invisible (but perceptible) in both existing and proposed architectural spaces, with the goal to work as a group to also utilize AR in a holographically assisted fabrication project. For example, we may attempt to reveal atmospheric and\/or historical spectres (real-time or past-time), and will then design installations to enhance or mitigate these conditions. Perhaps we may capture what is later deemed to be important, but on first inspection was not.<\/p>

In-class workshops will provide technical instruction on digital and computational modeling and sensing, 3D LiDAR scanning, and AR visualization with the Microsoft HoloLens 2.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
