Abstract:
Visualizations of large simulations are not only computationally intensive but also difficult for the viewer to interpret, due to the huge amount of data to be processed. The case of urban wind flow simulations proves the benefits of mobile Augmented Reality visualizations, both in terms of selection of data relevant to the user and facilitated and comprehensible access to simulation results. This is achieved by a novel visualization method, presenting simulation based on current city model data correctly localized in real-world images.
