Abstract
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the utilization of mixed reality technology in the field of Architectural design. For this purpose, this study introduces the mixed reality development in architectural design and construction business and suggests design collaboration service platform composed of mixed reality service server, which is a web service system for authoring and managing mixed reality contents, and terminal application that implements it in mixed reality environment.
The result of this research is that mixed reality contents can be used in a mixed reality environment after storing and setting the mixed reality contents on a server, and a collaboration environment can be implemented using an MR device. In addition, proposing a simple mixed reality teleconference system using a relay system to support remote conferencing in mixed reality environment.
