So far, I have little experience with AR and real-world architecture interfacing.<\/p>\n

The first one is the snapchat lens Legochok<\/a><\/em>, which has become quite popular on my social networks. It is a complementary AR layer with a LEGO man, who uses the real building Arc de Triomphe, in Paris, instead of legs. Once, looking at the Arc de Triomphe, it seemed to me that its shape looked like the legs of a toy LEGO figure. Therefore, after a while, I was able to implement this idea.<\/p>\n

The second one is the Falling Tower<\/a><\/em> Snapchat lens, the name of which speaks volumes about what is going on inside. This lens allows the user to destroy the famous Eiffel Tower building with a click on the screen. without damaging it in any way. Most of the time you might have already seen similar graphics in movies, but they are drawn after shooting for days, or even months in post-production, and here you can experience it with your smartphone (just imagine that soon and in AR glasses \ud83e\udd2b).<\/p>\n

*This lens doesn’t carry any negative message for this architecture building, I was just testing if I could make a good quality real-time vfx involving the real world.*<\/em><\/p>\n

I used Lens Studio to create these lenses because it’s the only one engine for social media that provides options for such projects. In particular Landmarker<\/em> – this is what is used to track the right place (in my case it is the world-famous buildings).<\/p>\n

The main advantage of using AR here is emotion. With the help of AR you can add to the world what is almost impossible to do alive (for various reasons). Thereby causing the user to be at least surprised by how their usual places have become to look like.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the integration of AR and VR in architecture has brought about significant changes. As an industrial designer with expertise in XR and as an indie developer collaborating with architecture professionals, I have personally witnessed the transformative impact of these technologies. The advantages of connecting XR and architecture are evident, as technology offers enhanced visualization, improved communication, collaboration, and decision-making. It also contributes to efficiency gains, cost reduction, and risk mitigation by enabling virtual exploration, testing, and refinement of designs before construction begins. AR and VR empowers architects and designers to create more innovative and user-centric architectural solutions.<\/p>\n\t
