NazzAR vs Bamboo AR

NazzAR lets you discover additional digital content through augmented reality. Find an image or marker supported by NazzAR, point your iPhone camera at it, and explore the interactive content connected to it. With NazzAR, you can: • view videos and animations in augmented reality; • interact with 3D models and digital reconstructions; • listen to audio materials and explanations; • open interactive elements, buttons, and links; • access additional information about exhibits, historical sites, and projects. NazzAR is used in projects related to cultural heritage, history, museums, tourism, education, exhibitions, and interactive spaces. How to get started: 1. Open NazzAR. 2. Find an image or marker featuring the NazzAR identifier. 3. Allow the app to access your camera. 4. Point the camera at the supported image. 5. Explore the digital content that appears. Camera access is required for augmented reality features. The availability of specific AR content depends on the project and the materials for which it was created.

Explore the pioneering work of Dr Kristof Crolla and Dr Garvin Goepel on the integration of digital technology into bamboo architecture. By downloading the augmented reality (AR) app, you can access an immersive experience that allows you witness the physical scale models of their bamboo projects at full scale through holograms made visible directly onto your mobile device. The exhibition includes seminal projects like the 2015 “ZCB Bamboo Pavilion” in Hong Kong, which celebrated its 10th anniversary; “MemutAR”, a bamboo pavilion created for the Bamboo World Congress in Taiwan in 2024; “Bale Timbang”, a community project built with Hong Kong students for a farming community in Bali, 2025; and the “Bamboo U Dome”, a lecture hall, workshop, and cultural event space at the Bamboo U campus in Bali, 2024. These projects utilised innovative computational workflows throughout their design, fabrication, and construction process, including AR- driven holographic instruction methods. This approach offers a far more intuitive and comprehensive alternative to traditional construction drawings, thus simplifying construction, making complex geometries more accessible—the philosophy of "Building Simplexity."
