“…Os ambientes virtuais fazem parte do escopo da arquitetura desde os anos de 1990, por meio de estudos técnicos, como processamento de dados e visualizações realísticas de superfícies em edifícios (Bullinger et al, 2010). Com o avanço da capacidade gráfica dos computadores pessoais e da indústria do videogame, novas funcionalidades e novos cenários mais sofisticados puderam ser criados, possibilitando pesquisas em campos específicos que exercem influência sobre a arquitetura, como melhorias em sombra, luz e vegetação (Mantler et al, 2003apud Bullinger et al, 2010, além da interação e visualização de projetos em BIM (Building Information Modelling) pelos projetistas (Yan et al, 2011).…”

Licenciado sob uma Licença Creative Commons Impressões qualitativas em espaços urbanos noturnos por meio de ambientes virtuais imersivos Qualitative impressions in urban spaces at night through immersive virtual environmentsÍtalo Pereira Fernandes [a] , Norberto Corrêa da Silva Moura [a] , António Aguiar Costa [b] [a] Universidade de São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, SP, Brasil [b] Instituto Superior Técnico Lisboa, Lisboa, Estremadura, Portugal ResumoPesquisas no âmbito da iluminação focam no aspecto quantitativo e físico dos efeitos lumínicos e seu desempenho na relação usuário-ambiente. Assim, estudos sobre os aspectos subjetivos da iluminação e sua influência na percepção e no usufruto do espaço são crescentes, porém existem poucos experimentos para avaliar impressões subjetivas dos ambientes noturnos. O presente artigo tem por objetivo mapear qualidades ambientais do espaço urbano localizado na cidade de João Pessoa-PB por meio do conceito de atmosfera percebida, cuja categorização de palavras descreve qualitativamente o ambiente, utilizando o ambiente virtual tridimensional como suporte para criação e avaliação de cenários noturnos. Nesse sentido, foram simulados, em realidade virtual, dois projetos de iluminação: uma paisagem noturna existente e uma proposta de intervenção como alternativa, a fim de gerar avaliações pelos usuários. Os resultados mostram que existem qualidades subjetivas diferentes nos espaços, relacionadas com questões de segurança e sociabilidade do ambiente, o que reflete a importância dessas avaliações subjetivas, e demonstram o contributo da realidade virtual como aspecto inovador nesse processo. Contribuições do artigo dizem respeito à participação coletiva no processo de projeto e aplicação da metodologia em contextos em que a iluminação é fundamental, como espaços públicos de conjuntos habitacionais.

“…Moreover, multiple devices are supported, so the system can be used indifferently with a desktop computer or a mobile phone (further aspects will be discussed in Section 4). There are only a few examples of collaborative applications allowing AR visualisation, (e.g., see [20][21][22]) since mainly virtual environments have been used as communication platforms (e.g., see [23,24]). …”

Participated Planning of Large Water Infrastructures through Virtual Prototyping Technologies

Abstract:The design of large dams is a collaborative activity with relevant social and political implications. Planning such large infrastructures requires involving all the interested stakeholders, making shared decisions, tracing the design process. There are currently not many Virtual Prototyping tools to support this collaborative design process. In this paper, we propose a participated planning support system based on mobile and Augmented Reality technologies which allows different stakeholders to take part in the review of a large dam project through an application that automatically acquires information available online, allows all stakeholders to share information, and finally records everything for a subsequent analysis. The development of the application, as well as its use in two case studies and a user study, are described in the paper.

“…The virtual reality constructed by BIM solutions provides the ideal context that clients can relate to their living experience and project expectations. It encourages active engagement of clients in the design process, which used to be an epic challenge in conventional architectural design for aging in place projects [17,3] .…”

“…It emphasizes user experience that reflects fundamental aging in place design criteria. These criteria attach significance to the quality of experience the elderly have when interacting with the design, and their psychological satisfaction through combined human computer interaction (HCI) with participatory design [17] . Integrating immersive technologies and game engines with BIM can offer design professionals more than just the virtual mockup and digital representation.…”

“…Integrating immersive technologies and game engines with BIM can offer design professionals more than just the virtual mockup and digital representation. Clients can dive into the virtual environment to simulate experiential space interactions through self-guided or automated virtual walkthrough, perform interactive tasks and provide designers with meaningful real-time feedback on spatial quality, design comprehension and satisfaction [17,16] .…”

The senior population in the U.S. is growing steadily. Market research has shown that the majority of seniors would like to age independently in their own residence. However, the challenge to age in place is to create the physical and service environment that is resilient to accommodate the needs of seniors that are uniquely associated with the aging process. Design for aging is a professional practice dedicated to address this specific problem. As Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gaining industry-wide acceptance, its implementation in the residential sector is relatively limited. This study summarizes the experience and lessons learned from a project that is directed to explore the use of BIM and game engine to facilitate design for aging. The project is interested in assessing how visualization and interaction achieved via the integration of BIM and game engine may enhance student understanding of aging in place design criteria and pertinent code compliance interpretation. Then entrepreneurial thinking is also incorporated to expand the project scope to a BIM/game engine prototype development that aims to provide practical solutions improve design communication between professionals and clients. The paper shares the initial findings and showcases the prototype under development.
