AR Playground Planning: Visualize Equipment Before Installation

Optimize Playground Design Before Construction

Playground equipment purchases represent substantial investments where schools and parks commit to expensive installations they cannot visualize from catalog photos or manufacturer drawings. Equipment configurations prove impractical for actual spaces, safety zones create unexpected space constraints, or scale feels inappropriate discovered only after installation when modifications require expensive removal and replacement. AR playground visualization shows complete equipment layouts in actual spaces through tablets—revealing accurate sizing, safety clearance requirements, and accessibility at full scale in real playgrounds. This eliminates planning errors while helping facilities optimize layouts for maximum play value within available space and budget constraints.

Implementation features equipment catalogs with safety zone overlays and accessibility compliance supporting layout optimization. Development timelines of 5-7 weeks include equipment modeling and outdoor space detection. Schools and parks report improved space utilization and reduced post-installation regrets, with AR particularly effective for limited spaces where equipment selection and placement prove critical for maximizing play opportunities while maintaining safety compliance, preventing expensive mistakes where installed equipment wastes space through poor configuration or requires removal when safety zones prove incompatible with actual playground dimensions that proper visualization would have revealed before installation commitment.

Planning Optimization Benefits

• Space maximization testing configurations optimizing play value within constraints
• Safety compliance visualizing clearance zones ensuring regulation adherence
• Accessibility validation confirming inclusive design meeting requirements
• Budget optimization selecting equipment maximizing value for available funds
