Problem Description

There are times when designers are desperately wanting to change their digital models simply with hands, so it’s easier and faster to see the instant outcome before getting into any design details. For example, when urban designers are sharing concepts with other members in the design team, or when interior designers are presenting and discussing plans to the their customers. The current solution to this problem is tedious, since designers have to open up their 3d models in a software, adding and changing models, and finally rendering them to see the result.

Solution

Mixed-Reality Model Displayer enables designers to manipulate their digital models in a more intuitive way by connecting physical models in the real world. Designer are able to put real physical models of any kind behind the screen, so when viewing through the screen they can see their physical models are put in the environment of their digital models. Also, they are able to rotate the displayer to see the panorama view of their models just as the same they always do in a modelling software. This concept can be developed further when using of holoprojection and sensors to help equip this displayer. So the designers can change not only the physical models but the digital ones projected at the same time.
