Project Summary

Rubius developed an Android AR application for an architectural school (Tomsk State University of Architecture) to visualize public-space design concepts for citizens. The vendor delivered the app quickly, provided onsite testing and installation instructions, and supported user testing across several groups. Project management and communication were praised, and the delivered product required few changes.

Key Challenges

We needed help with AR development.

Project Deliverables

Android application
Onsite testing
Installation instructions
User testing with several groups

Project Solution

We engaged Rubius to develop an AR solution where users could see how design solutions would look. Architects develop the concept, the first iteration, the surroundings, and what the public space could look like. We wanted to demonstrate it to the public and citizens with visualizations and sketches and more advanced tools like applications with AR that citizens could use to see the possible improvements in the area. They developed an application for Android. They also tested their solution onsite before we tested it with citizens. Then they developed instructions for us on how it could be installed on different smartphones. We tested the solution with several different groups. We agreed on the tasks with the co-founder. Then I worked with their IT specialist that developed the application by hand. Rubius previously worked with us on public space projects. We worked together from November 2019–March 2020.
