Custom software developer AMC Bridge makes available a CAD-based augmented reality mobile application as a technology demonstration. The technology, CAD-to-AR Mobile, shows how 3D CAD models can become part of a mixed reality environment. 

The demonstration links several distinct technologies: CAD; cloud storage; the Unity real-time 3D display engine; Google’s Android smartphone operating system; and augmented reality courtesy of the EasyAR software development kit (SDK) from VisionStar Information Technology. 

The app allows users to: 

  • upload one or several 3D models at a time;
  • upload a 3D model from either local or external cloud storage; 
  • position a 3D model with a QR code; and 
  • preview the model in situ. 

A demonstration in the video here shows the placing of a cabinet in a setting, and adding drawers and a lid. It introduces basic functionality of CAD-to-AR Mobile.

More information on this technology is available directly from AMC Bridge.
