An Endeavor in Integrated Innovation: "Green Building Interact"

Abstract

Through the use of immersive technologies, specifically augmented and virtual reality, I have designed a mobile application that allows the user to step inside the design process of green buildings. My intention with this application is to both educate users on the functioning of green buildings as well as to inspire them to learn more about green building design as an art. Through highlighting the underlying complexities of LEED certified buildings, I have sought to educate the general public on what exactly makes buildings sustainable – environmentally, economically, and socially.
