The announcement comes after we introduced the availability of Apple’s ARKit technology on iOS devices and shows our continued commitment to adopting AR.
“With the addition of Augmented Reality for the Android platform, Vectorworks Service Select members with Android devices are now able to visualize their designs from Vectorworks 3D files in a new and compelling way,” said Vectorworks Mobile Team Manager Alex Nicol. “This new viewer will help designers convey design intent by rendering a virtual design in the real-world environment, at real-world scale.”
