Congratulations to HKS on the exciting news! Looking forward to seeing the presentations for Auckland Stadium at Quay Park and The Arena in Diriyah at the World Architecture Festival. Best of luck to the team!
Navigation in #mixedreality is something that is really tricky to explain, but I think this visual tells the tale a bit.
In a typical modeling program you would be zooming around the model and setting the camera view where you like it. When you want to see the your project at a model scale, you zoom far out and to get that center-for-ants feel🐜 Users can do the same movement in Arkio but instead of only moving your position to effect the sense of scale, you can scale yourself to be larger than the model. This for sure isn't something new in the immersive tech space (Tiltbrush is a good example of the scale system) but I haven't really seen it applied with mixed reality👀
Here, at the start of the post, you can see Johan's avatar at a 1:1 scale. Prior to the start, he had setup a couple of masses that captured the existing buildings and other context but he modeled this all out from the location you see at the start. When you see his avatar scale up and fly over to the other side of the water is that key navigation moment 🌠 He scales himself up to see his project at model scale, giving him a better view and angle of the massing while still being on the other side of the water. Edits and changes are made to the massing while being at that god scale, and whenever he wants to check on the result he can teleport back to 1:1 scale and see his progress at a specific vantage point with specific context.
Of course there is plenty of additional tech embedded in this example that make this functionality come together. For example, what helps show this feature is having someone recording this from secondary location to show the physical and virtual parts of Johan (thanks Embla!🙌). They all work together to tell a bit of the tale ya know!
oh, and it's the last day for the Build Beyond design challenge!⏳
