Abstract:
Advanced technologies such as virtual reality (VR),
augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) has been
around for over 50 years. However, the popularity of these
advanced technologies has significantly increased during
the past five to ten years. As technology becomes smarter
and efficient, developers are constantly researching new
ways to integrate them into our daily lives and help us
work more efficiently. Many people are fascinated by new
technologies every year and their capabilities; however, it is
essential to be aware of the dangers of technology when
operating or interacting with new technologies we aren’t
too familiar with.
The focus of the thesis is researching the wide variety of
mixed reality technologies and exploring the possibilities
of integrating them within a building, and investigating
the effect it has on the form and function of the
architectural space
