TY - JOUR TI - AR technology in urban planning and architecture – overview of methods of and potential for architectural conceptual proposal presentation within an augmented reality environment AU - Sumlet, Wojciech AU - Pitek, Maciej TI - AR technology in urban planning and architecture – overview of methods of and potential for architectural conceptual proposal presentation within an augmented reality environment AB - AR technology makes it possible to compare dynamic 3D models with a real-world physical context. The technology has been readily accessible to the wider public since 2015, thus constituting a new and dynamically developing field with significant—in the authors’ opinion—potential for all participants of the construction process. The article familiarises readers with the main principles of the technology’s operation and discusses the tools that it employs. Three main methods of generating 3D models were analysed and their potential for evaluating architectural conceptual proposals in reference to urban context was discussed.
