This project aims to support the construction of complex assemblies by displaying information through Augmented Reality. Our main case study consists in assisting the construction of typical wooden structures connected by steel joints. This applied research aims to bring concrete benefits to the industrial sector such as preventing mistakes when installing components and improving safety and efficiency.

This research project investigates the use of augmented reality (AR) to extend human capabilities in the design and construction of architectural structures. A modular construction system featuring reconfigurable triangular panels was developed, allowing for the assembly and disassembly of various shelter configurations. While the structure offers infinite rearrangement possibilities, identifying the optimal combination and orientation of the panels presents significant challenges. The integration of AR guidance enables efficient achievement of the desired configuration by providing real-time feedback and holographic instructions for adding and removing components. A real-time 3D digital twin of the structure was used to track and visualize the shelter's evolution throughout the design process, demonstrating the system's ability to support diverse architectural solutions.

This research project explores the development of a reconfigurable construction system from a limited set of elements.

The developed algorithm integrates geometric constraints to allow infinite adaptation of the original design.

The AR interface helps explore the design space and provides instructions for assembling the panels.
