Abstract :
We present an AR application for visualizing solar radiation data on facades of buildings, generated from LiDAR data and climatic observations. Data can be visualized using colored surfaces and glyphs. A user study revealed the proposed AR visualizations were easy to use, which can lead to leverage the potential benefits of AR visualizations: to detect errors in the simulated data, to give support to the installation of photovoltaic equipment and to raise public awareness of the use of facades for power production.
