HapDig – Haptic-digital planning tool for collaborative hospital and care facility planning
Feasibility study to examine the requirements for content, organization, design, and financing of a haptic-digital planning tool for the construction and furnishing of clinics and care facilities
AR overlays are to be displayed using 3D-printed components (e.g., furnishings, walls, rooms) that can be clearly recognized by a smartphone in terms of shape and position.
The changes made during manual planning are to be fed back into digital planning software using AR.
