Integrating XR and Tangible Model to Enhance Old Building Renovation Design

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The renovation of old buildings usually has complex site constraints, involves multiple interests, and has limited capital costs. Therefore, the transformation process has always encouraged the participation of stakeholders to improve the effectiveness of the design. Tangible user interfaces (TUIs) consisting of physical models further simplify the operation. However, most designs are displayed by projection, which cannot provide a realistic interactive experience. Extended Reality (XR) technology has the advantages of interactivity and clear visualization. We developed a participatory renovation tool using XR technology and tangible models. We invited the owner to view the 3D design proposal in HoloLens and then use the tangible model to discuss the renovation design. This experiment proves that the system can realize on-site 3D visualization, allowing the public to design in a real environment and intuitively interact with the virtual and the real. Using the participatory design method of XR technology + tangible model will provide a convenient platform for the renovation of old buildings with the collaborative participation of stakeholders.
