Title :
Augmented Reality on Construction Sites Using a Smartphone-Application
Abstract :
Civil Engineering is characterized by the ineffectiveness of production planning and control. The origins of these problems lie in unclear and late information. Augmented Reality (AR) can tackle these problems and help to improve the information flow. This paper describes the benefits of Augmented Reality on construction sites and introduces a smartphone application for an intuitive information retrieval on construction sites. It explains the structure of the application, especially the mathematical calculation of the AR view, and demonstrates its use in a practical case.
