Construction of Simulation Environment Based on Augmented Reality Technique

Board 62: Usability of a Mobile Augmented Reality Application to Teach Structural Analysis

“…In Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) domain, AR has been implemented to support planning, design, construction, and maintenance phases of a project [7], [8], visualization of construction graphics [9]; creation of virtual immersive job-sites to avoid safety-related concerns [10], [11] construction defect management [12] construction site visualization and communication [13] and damage prevention and maintenance of underground utilities [14]. Although these implementations indicate the promising potential of AR to enhance productivity and safety in civil engineering practice, the integration of such technologies into undergraduate teaching practices has been very limited despite the evidence that it facilitates learning of abstract and difficult-to-understand topics [15].…”
