Watch this technical overview of HDScope, Hayes Davidson’s on-site augmented reality tool designed to support architects and planning consultants in the early stages of a project.
Developed in response to the increasing need for speed, clarity, and collaboration in the planning process, HDScope enables teams to visually assess a scheme’s impact in real-time and on-site, with a high degree of accuracy. By bringing proposed massing and design into context via AR, it allows for rapid, informed feedback at key decision-making points, reducing planning risk and saving time and money.

Whether used for early feasibility testing or pre-application discussions, HDScope facilitates better communication with clients, consultants, and local authorities, supporting smarter, more confident decisions from the outset.
