Application of mixed reality for improving architectural design comprehension effectiveness
Abstract Extended Reality (XR) technologies such as AR, VR and MR have influenced many industries, including architecture. Even though they are all capable of creating immersive digital worlds, the only one capable of merging the real world with a holographic 3D modelby letting the user interact intuitively and naturally with the project is MR. In this paper, 42 participants were divided into two groups and analyzed an original architectural renovation design. They assessed the effectiveness of design review using Mixed Reality (MR) versus traditional 2D methods. The results show that MR based design review can effectively communicate 85% of the information to the client versus 70% provided by 2D media. At the same time, it has the potential to enhance the client's comprehension of the aesthetic characteristics of materials, giving the possibility to replace physical samples during the finishing stage of construction.
Highlights An original renovation design was used in an experiment to assess the effectiveness of Mixed Reality (MR) for design review. The advantage of MR is the ability of allowing the user to explore a given space in a way that accurately mimics reality. MR allows users to visualize architectural details on site without having to carry any cables or heavy equipment. MR has the potential to replace material samples as it can accurately represent an element's thickness and appearance. MR-based design review is more effective than 2D methods for communicating the architect's design proposal effectively.
