Can Anyone Build Complex Structures with Augmented Reality (AR)?

In August 2025, we sat down with Dr. Kristof Crolla and Dr. Garvin Goepel to discuss whether anyone can build complex structures using augmented reality. By combining bamboo construction with digital design tools like Rhino 3D and Grasshopper, as well as overlaying digital models on site with AR, we are discovering new ways to build. But how far can we take this for bamboo construction? What does it mean for the future of sustainable building?
