Over the past few years, industries at large have been undergoing a massive transformation thanks to virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies becoming more mainstream. In the world of architecture, AR and VR are being utilized to render projects, visualize design factors, and provide virtual tours.
Traditional methods of education won’t go away any time soon. Universities still need lectures, classes, and textbooks. But the rise of VR and AR will make this process easier for students and educators alike. Their virtual environment is perfect for various disciplines. So, why not make the most of these technologies?
Adopting AR in architecture allows architects to make a real impression on their clients through its interactive features. Every architect wants to involve clients in the design process to better understand what they want and demonstrate how it can be executed in reality.
