Once the team’s tools have figured out the floorplan and rendered it, the next step is to visualize it in augmented reality, too (using the floorplan as its anchor). That by itself is pretty cool, but by asking you about your location and a few more details about the building you are trying to render, is able to estimate the square footage and prize of what you’re drawing, too.
“But there hasn’t been an easy to create this.” “We always had this fascination with bringing to live what you can draw,” Kandiah said.
With, TechCrunch Berlin Hackathon hackers Charles Wong and Aravind Kandiah, who are both students at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, built a tool that can easily turn your 2D drawings into 3D renderings. It’s easy enough to draw a basic floorplan of your home, but turning that floorplan into 3D rendering typically falls into the realm of professional designers.
