Automatizing the generation of a virtual tour of an architecture model through an information system

摘要

One of the main problems that the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) faces is how to approach the client regarding the AEC process, helping them understand different artifacts and instruments. Some companies, with the purpose of delivering a quality service to their clients and partners, have incorporated the BIM method (Building Information Modeling) and Virtual Reality experiences into their design processes. In this project, we explore the design and development of a standard protocol that allows users to generate a Virtual Tour in two formats: PC and a Virtual Reality experience for Android devices. This process has been automatized through: a web service, a game engine, and an information system. The main contribution of this work is the design of a pipeline with a scalable solution for improving the communication with clients through virtual tours with a standard protocol.
