Project Overview
Fologram is a software platform that allows mixed reality hardware to talk to desktop design software.
Organisation
Project Context
Enabling the design community to extend what they can design and build is fundamental to the work done at Fologram. Fologram is for exploring new solutions to the unique challenges facing the architecture, engineering and construction industry in education, research, practice and on building sites.
Project Innovation
Fologram is essentially a common communication protocol that allows mixed reality devices to understand geometry and interactions from design software, and vice versa.
For instance, when a user 'selects' an object in mixed reality, this selection is translated to an event that each of the other client applications can understand in order to reflect the same selection.
Similarly, when a user modifies part of a design model on a desktop application, this change is detected and interpreted in order to reflect the same modification on all other clients. Designers can use this protocol to build more complex forms of interaction by designing relationships between spatial information and geometry within design models.
By using this spatial information to trigger changes in design models, designers can use Fologram to build interactive mixed reality experiences with design software they are already familiar with.
In its simplest application Fologram situates digital content in physical space.
Commercial - Digital
Commercial projects recognises that design is the means to create meaningful experiences for users, create value for people and drive profit for businesses.
The digital category celebrates design outcomes across digital platforms and includes motion design, front end and interaction design, user experience design and digital product design.
