AUGMENTED REALITY
Interactive mixed reality application, two designers, albeit remotely, are placed in the condition of being able to

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR
INTERACTIVE ON-SITE
FORESHADOWINGS AND DI-
GITAL PLASTICS IN THE RE-
STORATION SECTORS
The powerful representative potential
of AR technology therefore
allows, even in professional
contexts oriented to the restoration
and restoration of bodies of
high historical and architectural
value, to be able to offer an
exact three-dimensional foreshadowing
of the various predefined
intervention concepts
directly on-site and in real-time
mode, as if they were photorealist
holograms perfectly consistent
Mixed reality application (Hololens device)
with pre-existence, constantly
recorded from the point of view
of the observer, in order to be
able to evaluate with greater
accuracy the design or technical
aesthetic solution considered
optimal and more responsive
to the essential specifies of the
historical-architectural context
of intervention.
The orientation of the type of
restoration to be undertaken
clearly depends on a series of
factors that go to frame in detail
the structure on which to intervene,
its conditions, the type of
intervention and its complexity,
Augmented Reality Technology
allows a particular and more
exhaustive verification, thanks
to the accurate interactive visualization,
since it takes place di-
rectly on the building organism
subject to the intervention.
By innovatively introducing the
"third dimension" and where
necessary the photorealistic
rendering of materials, it guarantees
the technician and the
client to be able to implement
a critical-evaluation analysis of
the MOST accurate and more
exhaustive intervention in terms
of technical and perceptual verification.
This clearly represents a substantial
progress and a dialectical
overcoming of the previous
visual communication methods
of the previous generation
project (rendering, post-production
video photomontages, desktop-walktrough)
characterized
by the simple two-dimensional
nature and the constrained view
of use.
IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES
TO SUPPORT THE KNOWLED-
GE AND DIAGNOSIS OF THE
BUILDING ORGANISM
Potential and further application
contexts of contemporary
visual technologies are also
foreshadowed to support the
different phases of the design
process characteristic of restoration
interventions, such as
those related to the knowledge
and diagnosis of the building
organism.
In fact, the project of the recovery
/restoration interventions
requires, as a preliminary step,
the qualification and evaluation
of the morpho-typological,
material-constructive, technicaltechnological
characteristics, the
conservation status and residual
performance, because of relief,
investigations, and analysis in
situ.
Thanks to Virtual Reality techniques
it is also possible to systemoticize
the different information
/ data / data sheets etc.
