Mobile cross-media visualisations made from building information modelling data

Published: 06 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

The advent of Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides geometry data that can be easily used for visualisations. We present six demonstrators made from the same data using similar workflows. They cover different categories of mobile devices, ranging from head-mounted displays to smartphones and tablets with inside-out positional tracking. They showcase cross-media visualisations depending on the device capabilities, which vary from a sophisticated car-based AR-setup, over wired and wireless VR, to see-through AR on smart glasses, and video-based AR on tablets.
