See it before you build it

This one-to-one scale augmented reality application is used to view buildings in place, in the context in which they will be built. We are now able to view and walk around the building before it exists. This has built in solar path viewer, to see how the buildings shadows will affect the buildings and environment around it. We started this project as research then scaled it to use it on all of our projects at SHoP and added in the ability to view design options. This application was deployed onto several large scale projects including this one, The Brooklyn Tower.
