Abstract
Traditional methods of delivering construction information, relying on paper-based shop drawings, specifications, and verbal instructions, often lead to increased mental workload, error rates, and difficulties in accessing information. This raises the question of how the traditional approach to accessing design and construction information on construction sites can be improved to address these issues. This paper describes a hybrid approach known as AR-QR code, which aims to enhance the conventional paper-based method of accessing such information using the power of Augmented Reality (AR). The research methodology involved: process mapping, prototype development, and evaluation. The evaluation results revealed that professionals expressed confidence in the potential of the AR-QR code approach to alleviate the limitations associated with traditional methods at construction sites. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights into the need for a hybrid approach that preserves the advantages of traditional methods while avoiding their drawbacks.
