Desarrollar un prototipo de formación para construcciones civiles en dispositivos de realidad mixta (HoloLens 2)

Abstract

Abstract: Technology has undergone an important evolution, in order to satisfy the human needs and facilitate daily activities. Mixed reality (MR) is one of these technologies, which combines virtual reality and augmented reality to create a more realistic experience in the interaction of digital and physical objects in the environment. In this work, a prototype of RM for civil construction is presented, which allows Students interact with various 3D objects, including building components, using the HoloLens 2 glasses. The work was developed with Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) that is a set of tools developed by Microsoft to develop MR applications in the Unity graphics engine. The prototype consists of two fundamental points: visualization and learning. In the first, the user can view a building in 3D and manipulate the 3D objects using hand gestures. In the second, the user can learn about the basic concepts of the components of civil construction. The prototype was evaluated with a group of civil engineering, architecture, computing students and an external person to these races, and the results showed that according to the perception of the users it is a useful tool for the formation and visualization of 3D objects focused on civil construction.
