ABSTRACT:

This is an attempt to investigate what architects think are the technical difficulties that stand in the way of AR use within the architect role. Both software and hardware limitations are investigated. I additionally investigate what architects think are potential solutions to those problems, and how architects think AR can be used in the future in a way that would be useful and facilitate better communication. This study found that, according to the architects interviewed, the technical limitations are mainly the lack of portability, isolation from the outside world, the need for powerful hardware, motion sickness, movement restrictions and the setup process being generally inconvenient. The future use of AR that would be useful according to the architects interviewed are the ability to have virtual meetings, AR being used in conjunction with VR, the ability to design and sketch in AR and using AR as a communication tool to convey design ideas to the public.
