Visualizing Architecture by Using Augmented Reality

U sklopu završnog rada napravljena je mobilna aplikacija koja omogućuje postavljanje virtualnih 3D modela u scenu proširene stvarnosti. Aplikacija može služiti arhitektima za predstavljanje 3D modela njihovih projekata, bez da moraju izraditi maketu u fizičkom obliku. Mobilna aplikacija predviđena je za operacijski sustav iOS radi čega je za razvoj korišten programski jezik Swift i razvojno sučelje Xcode. Swift za implementaciju tehnologije proširene stvarnosti koristi ARKit. ARKit je Appleova razvojna platforma kojom se razvijaju AR aplikacije za iPhone i iPad. On koristi kameru, akcelerometre i žiroskope uređaja kako bi razumio pokrete i okruženje uređaja. ARKit vrlo je intuitivan za korisnike, ima strmu krivulju učenja, a sklopovska podrška u Appleovim novijim uređajima dovoljno je uznapredovala da bez problema odradi njegove zadatke. Tehnologija je u ovom trenutku dosta mlada, stoga je prirodno da ima neka ograničenja, s kojima se susreo i zadatak ovog završnog rada pri uvozu objekata tokom rada aplikacije, no takve boljke vjerojatno će nestati tokom predstojećih inačica ARKit-a.As part of the final work, a mobile application has been created that allows virtual 3D models to be placed on the scene of an augmented reality. The application can be used by architects to present 3D models of their projects without the need to create a model in its physical form. The mobile app is for iOS operating system, which uses Swift programming language and Xcode development environment. Swift uses ARKit to deploy extensible technology. ARKit is Apple's development platform that develops AR applications for iPhone and iPad. It uses device’s camera, accelerometer and gyroscope to understand the movements and environment of the device. ARKit is very intuitive for developers, has a steep learning curve, and the hardware support in recent Apple devices has made enough progress to complete its tasks without any problems. Technology is at this point pretty young, so it is natural that there are some limitations that have come up with the task of this final work on importing objects during runtime, but such protrusions will probably disappear during the upcoming versions of ARKit
