Visualization and control of a building information model using augmented reality technology

Tehnologiji navidezne resničnosti in obogatene resničnosti na področju multimedije predstavljata prehod iz ogledovanja 3D objektov na računalniških zaslonih na človeku bolj naravno ogledovanje 3D objektov v navideznem ali resničnem prostoru. Na področju industrije arhitekture, gospodarskega inženirstva in gradbeništva omogočata tehnologiji prehod iz raziskovanja zgradb na zaslonu na raziskovanje zgradbe skozi dejanski sprehod po modelu resnične velikosti. V okviru tega diplomskega dela je bila razvita aplikacija, ki omogoča ogledovanje informacijsko modeliranega objekta v obogateni resničnosti na napravi Microsoft HoloLens. Aplikacija uporabniku omogoča translacijo, rotacijo in spremembo velikosti modela zgradbe, izris posameznih sob in elementov v zgradbi in premik pogleda v izbrano sobo. Opisane so tehnologije in orodja uporabljena za razvoj aplikacije in prednosti ter pomanjkljivosti le teh. V zaključku so predstavljeni načini in tehnologije, primerne za nadgradnjo aplikacije in razširjenje njene uporabnosti.The technologies of virtual reality and augmented reality have in the field of multimedia represented a transition from viewing 3D object on computer screens to a more natural viewing of 3D objects in virtual or real space. In the field of architecture, engineering, and construction these technologies enable the transition from exploring buildings on computer screens to exploring buildings in their real size through actual walkthroughs. In the scope of this diploma, an application was developed, that enables the viewing of a building information model in augmented reality on the Microsoft HoloLens smart glasses. The application gives the user the ability to translate, rotate and scale the model of the building, enables the highlighting of different rooms within the building and the viewing of a chosen room. The technologies and tools used in the development of the application are presented along with the advantages and disadvantages of their use. Potential approaches and technologies for upgrading the application and bolstering its use are described in the conclusion
