Blockchain & Physical Digital Reality
How might we use blockchain to anchor augmented reality objects to the physical world?
Our project intends to combine blockchain and AR to provide a solution to a problem which is prevalent in the Architecture industry.
Currently, there are various Construction Document Management softwares that allow a range of records to be stored in an organised and readable fashion.
However, many companies do not use these and prefer to use paper documents, which often causes problems,
such as the problem of working off of the wrong plans which wastes time, material, and man-hours.
Our solution is to use blockchain to store these documents and to store the AR model of the construction plans,
as we are using AR to design and keep track of the state of the construction site.
This provides a neat solution to the problem of long, messy paper trails and increases convenience and usability by using AR to design buildings and other
infrastructure as required. This makes it easier for builders to visualise the end product throughout the duration of construction and makes it easier to track progress.
