McNeel welcomes Gwyllim Jahn and Cameron Newnham, cofounders of Fologram, for a 3-day Augmented Reality Workshop for Rhino and Grasshopper users at McNeel Europe in Barcelona. 

With augmented reality (AR) environments designers visualize 3D models within physical environments and at scale. This training introduces new tools and workflows for 3D models to be dynamic, to leverage headset data (position and orientation, gaze, and gesture) and to build new applications directly within Grasshopper.

Participants will form teams and collaborate closely with workshop leaders to develop projects with immediate use cases and based on one of the following themes:

• Proximity feedback for measurement and interaction  
• Responsive environments  
• Interactive holographic modeling  
• Interactive design markup
• Interactive simulation and analysis

Participants will build prototypical projects with immediate use cases in industry and gain confidence in developing further applications for mixed reality environments. All participants will work directly with Microsoft Hololens headsets through all phases of the workshop.

Day 1 (AR Visualization)

• Introduction
• Use of holographic software to stream CAD models to the HoloLens 
• Generative design approaches and holographic models using Rhino, Grasshopper, and custom plugins
• Group work with brief presentations: Production of digital prototypes and test on mixed reality headsets, revise digital design in response

Day 2

• Working with 3D scan data
• Working with visual tracking models for 6dof object interaction
• Parametric schematics for interactivity (capturing gestures and building event-based models)
• Project development

Day 3

• Supervised personal project development
• Discussion and feedback
