The Influence of Augmented Reality in Construction and Integration into Smart City

Abstract

This paper presents the current state of AR technology applications in the field of construction through some examples already applied in simulation of the organization of utilities networks, simulation of site organization in various stages, simulation of the new urban plan, modeling of building details, interior organization and navigation site and proposes to design of an IT application that integrates these benefits into a unitary application, easy to use by all parties involved in project: project owner, architects, builders, local community and public authorities. The application will be specific to the Android platform and will provide a virtual view of the stages in the construction. It will also run on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or other devices that have a camera, internet connection, and location sensors.
