Augmenting the Digital Review serves as an investigation into the use of augmented reality technology within early architectural education, as a means of introducing both historical and contemporary tools of abstract making and seeing.
The research, which culminated in a summer outreach studio, examines how early education can utilize readily accessible smartphone interfaces to develop connections between digital and physical world-building techniques.
The research builds upon the optic history of architectural perspective drawing towards a new form of abstraction and representation using photogrammetry and augmented reality.

![A mixed reality scene]()
A DICE K-12 architecture student presents three models of various mixed reality. One which is physical, one which is a photogrammetric scan of the first reprojected through AR, and a third, which was fabricated in the computer creating a mixed reality scene.
