3D Architecture and Design Solutions using Extended Reality

The problem MetaBlocks solves

Visualization: Enhances understanding of architectural designs by transforming 2D blueprints into interactive 3D models, reducing misinterpretations.
Collaboration: Facilitates real-time visualization and remote collaboration among team members, accelerating decision-making processes.
Cost Estimation: Streamlines cost-benefit analysis through a web platform, allowing users to assess financial implications and optimize resource allocation.
Client Engagement: Improves client satisfaction by offering an AR encyclopedia for on-site 3D model scanning, enabling clients to visualize designs in real-world contexts.

Challenges we ran into

Android AR App Build Compatibility:

Ensuring seamless performance and functionality across diverse Android devices, posing challenges in optimization and feature consistency.
Blender Modeling for Architecture Components:

Crafting realistic and intricate 3D models in Blender demands expertise in 3D modeling and texture mapping for accurate representation of architectural elements.
2D Blueprint to 3D Mesh Conversion:

Converting 2D blueprints into precise 3D meshes involves overcoming complexities like scale preservation, occlusion resolution, and geometric accuracy maintenance.
Unity 2D to 3D Generation with Mesyapi:

Converting 2D sketches into 3D models in Unity using Mesyapi requires tackling challenges such as preserving visual fidelity, handling complex shapes, and optimizing performance for interactive experiences.
