What could be the AR use cases for this

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about the potential use cases for AR technology. Like, how could we use it in app development or even in daily life? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I have so many questions. How did someone even convince this concept in the first place?

It’s made possible with this: PLATEAU [プラトー] | 国土交通省が主導する、日本全国の3D都市モデルの整備・オープンデータ化プロジェクト

Occlusion is very important for both VR and AR. To place something virtual, it needs to be interactive and can be in front of or behind real objects.

Imagine using AR to visualize 3D building models on construction sites. It could totally help with planning!

Right? You could create a 3D design for a building on your coffee table and then walk through it before building!

This tech could be crucial for construction projects, especially when something needs to be demolished and replaced.

Honestly, I think there’s not much real-world use for this. It’s all about the ‘imagine this’ ideas that don’t solve real problems.

But what about for new builds? It could inspire better designs instead of boring ones we see everywhere.

Use case: Urban planning, emergency response planning, environmental impact assessments… basically any large-scale planning could benefit.

Yeah, they already use AR for these things, but the public just doesn’t have access yet. It could revolutionize everything!

Is this just a fantasy? Putting people in a different world because they hate their reality?

I actually think it would be useful for directions. You could see the route without buildings blocking your view.

Totally agree! Imagine selecting a destination and removing everything in between to highlight where you want to go.
