There are two ways to explain it, one is the simple way, the one we all like, and the other is the one that excites purists and tech lovers, the one with complicated words and weird technicalities!
So, let’s go with the first one. Augmented Reality, or AR, is a technological tool that helps us mix elements from real life with false elements, so that later they can be displayed in such a way that they can be observed together and in real time. It is something like making photographic montages, but in a kind of third-dimensional video, through which we can walk around at our leisure, and look at the smallest details of a sustainable home. The result is so authentic that it is often difficult to distinguish the real element from the artificial one.
The second way of explaining it, is by saying that the AR adds digital or artificial information to the real world and therefore to an eco house if desired. That is to say, it adds 2D and 3D images, text or videos, and allows us to visualize them as graphic content and in real time, through touch monitors such as those of our mobile phones, tablets or special glasses. In other words, it is a tool that superimposes information or virtual elements on our vision of the real or physical world. This process is carried out through a high quality holographic projection.
