New technologies and apps in reality augmented for architecture and
New solutions and applications in VR (Virtual Reality) or AR (Augmented Reality ) appear day after day to save us a lot of time and manage projects in a more comfortable, easy and fast.
In this article we have investigated which applications, technical solutions and Reality Apps augmented needs to meet an architect with the desire to be able to make a profit.
We must remember that virtual reality is to immerse ourselves in a completely digitized environment – virtual reality and the augmented reality concept , consists in complementing a space or environment with different objects digitized .

We have to think, we are facing an important trend within the field of architecture that it is necessary to know if we want to advance technological trends.
Being able to use an AR system means that architects, engineers or interior designers can show your ideas into augmented reality in a way totally new, in what was before more reminiscent of science fiction.
Allows our clients to gain a better understanding of what you want and be able to make changes in real time, even structures (for example adding or removing a wall) and see what it happens without having to rely on the imagination.
Of course, professional modeling for works and construction adapted to specific projects, It's not free, but certainly as technology advances expand, the architect will have his own library of details construction in CAD and 3D.
Surely if you are a real estate appraiser (They measure many homes in appraisals) or an architect who spends everything the day with the meter in hand, you will like this application very much.
It is called Tap Measure that will solve the hassle of measuring stays and then having to pass a CAT program to be able to solve them in 3D. Unfortunately, at the moment it is only for iPhone (iOS) but a replica is already planned to use with Android mobiles. Take note!
We remember that we already talked about apps to measure from HERE and from an interesting article about electronic measuring meters for the work.
Another similar to the previous app but this time for Android and for Iphone is the Magicplan. An alternative which is surely of interest to professionals in the sector.
The Room Planner app that you can access from HERE on your web (Both IOS and Android). allows decorators, for example, drop and drag 3D furniture models and all type of consumer appliances used in the home in very few steps.
It has hundreds of models of furniture for the house and the office, with new products added every day.
This application for architecture « AR solution» enables the users physically walk around a product virtual image in 3D that we have previously placed on the home stay or our office space.
Another novelty is Istaging (It works with Android and App Store). One of the most refined applications and with details that possibly stand out from the others.
Of course we couldn't leave out the app of Ikea 3D in augmented reality for furniture in your mobile version based on the ARKit rendering engine of Apple.
Because you want to buy some furniture from the famous company or because you simply want to see how they look in your home. This is an option to take into account!…
Only for iOS 11 devices and is currently Available for free from the Apple App Store at United States.
One of the reality apps Raised for decoration more interesting what we can find, the app is called Home Styler access HERE (Iphone and Android), with a community of users which provide a multitude of ideas in decoration.
The basis of the application consists of uploading a photo of the environment that we want to decorate and, or us, for putting a example we paint the walls, we add furniture to our kitchen modern, lamps, tables ... etc. Or let the community participate in the decoration of the room.
There are very interesting projects and where you can also add comments on decoration ideas based on the image contributed by the user.
It is one of the most recognized applications worldwide international that I think everyone by now knows your web platform.
Among its different options is the system Sketch will allow you to make sketches from from your own photos . Add notes, drawings or insert products!
One of the applications that possibly amazes the most in technical quality for the new Apple iPhone and iPad, is the app called Polycam, which ultimately works to create a 3D scanner with a cloud of points on a surface! A craziness! If we see the progress it is having in the field of rendering and, from the mobile.
First we have to take into account that we have to work with Apple technology for using LIDAR (light detection and ranging in English), a powerful sensor of the cameras of these phones that has a special emphasis on the improvement of photography and, most interestingly, in the augmented reality experiences.
With the 3D modeling we obtain, we can work on creating an augmented reality in BIM or with other programs. be for interiors, buildings or all kinds of installations in 3D, it is an augmented reality mobile application that uses the mobile device's camera to overlay a interactive BIM model on its different plans.
The Polycam – LiDAR 3D Scanner is not yet designed to professionals since we cannot compare it with a scanner 3D laser, exactly, but you have to try it!
Another one we shouldn't stop talking about is the one called Furzo Mobile. Although they focus a lot on virtual reality, since a tablet or the mobile itself we can work calmly in a project.
Exclusively for professionals in the information sector architecture and engineering and direct payment. Dispose of 3D libraries for your subscribers and users.
Although it may need to be debugged a bit more in technique. The augmented reality apps for the world of architecture and works begins to leave us good impressions especially with those conjectures between the designer – decorator and the user.
Now, instead of imagining aesthetics, we can show true spaces and contexts in a totally simple where we can also practice changes in time royal.
Since we have the technology, now we just have to learn how to decorate from our favorite items…
