Boost Revenue and Cut Costs With Virtual Models in AR

Augmented Reality (AR) offers new opportunities for architects. For the first time, you can create a Virtual Reality (VR)-quality experience without the equipment, cost, effort to replicate the design context, and user-discomfort often noted.

Geopogo, a startup founded by a local architect, has worked with designers and builders to carefully craft the new AR experience. Using only the desktop, iPhone, and iPad you already have, you can now instantly convert your BIM model into an AR model. This webinar will explore the potential of the exciting new Desktop+AR technology.

This session is part of an ongoing webinar series ArcSource is hosting to help Architecture Firms improve their productivity during the COVID pandemic. Get all the details here at learn.arcsource.com and view all upcoming sessions in the series here.

1. Explore how AR models can expand your revenue stream.
2. Examine what the comparative advantages are of VR and AR.
3. Incorporate AR models into your workflow to save money by shortening the design process.
4. Present AR models to add to your competitive advantage.
