Geopogo

AR-powered urban context visualization for architectural design presentation

Cloud-based augmented reality platform that imports 3D BIM models into real-world urban environments, powered by Unreal Engine 5. Enables architects and designers to present full-scale design mockups to clients on-site, showing view impacts, shadows, and urban context before construction approval.

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architecture and design teams spend weeks creating renderings to communicate design intent to clients and stakeholders, but traditional 2D renderings and static 3D visualizations fail to convey full-scale spatial relationships, view impacts, and how designs integrate with surrounding urban context. This miscommunication often leads to design iterations, delayed approvals, and costly rework after client feedback.

The Solution

Geopogo enables architects to import BIM models directly into Unreal Engine 5-powered visualizations with real-world city data and Google Maps integration. Teams present full-scale AR mockups on-site to clients, showing shadow studies, view impacts, and urban integration in real-time. Reduces design presentation time and accelerates client approval cycles.
