Development of digital learning materials promoting BIM and other advanced software, studied by the Architectural Institute of Japan's special committee and multiple national universities

Case Study

■ Client

・Special Investigation Committee of the Architectural Institute of Japan

・Two national universities

■ Challenge

Japanese education has often lagged behind international standards when it comes to teaching students to make full use of digital technology. Led by the Architectural Institute of Japan, the client needed teaching materials that would help train architecture professionals equipped for a new era.

■ Solution

・We developed a web application that digitizes the content of conventional architecture teaching materials.

・For three-dimensional design assignments using software such as BIM, we implemented VR and AR features that let students visualize the finished work as a 3D model.

・We built in functionality that allows the authors of the teaching materials to update explanatory videos and text themselves, with text-to-speech available for the written content.
