The goal is to use Augmented Reality (AR) to design and construct warp and weft woven structures with high precision. Real-time AR overlays to visualize interlacing patterns, adjust alignments, and dynamically adapt placements. This system enables error detection, structural feedback, and interactive modifications, making complex woven assemblies feasible without extensive manual adjustments.
AiR is an Augmented Reality (AR) interface designed for creation of temporary fabric structures with a wooden framework. AiR enhances your design experience by scanning the site and offering a catalog of structures tailored for shading, resting, or playing. With real-time AR visualization, you can preview your chosen designwithin the environment before assembling it. The … Read more
FAB-ARmour is an augmented reality (AR) design system focused on artistic production and the development of body extensions (arms, shoulders, core). By using Grasshopper with the Culebra plugin, the project generates agent-based geometries that adapt to non-linear surfaces, creating complex digital structures. These designs are integrated into Unity AR, allowing for real-time visualization and iterative … Read more
