Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
01 July, 2022 07:39 PM
The construction industry sees a growing adoption of AR, which superimposes computer-generated images on a live view on a device’s screen, and VR, which fully emerges as wearers of special headsets in a simulated environment. This new technology in building construction will only gain popularity every year.
The presentation of BIM data through an AR visual platform can foster coordination and collaboration between consultants, designers, and construction teams. Overlaying the images of buildings, systems, and their surroundings on real site views, users can visualize the projects, simulate architectural or structural changes, receive clear feedback, and facilitate design improvements.
The ability to view the real world through a lens opens up many new opportunities for the construction industry. Companies that can afford it now will revolutionize the way they design and build things.
Paired with BIM, VR also facilitates collaboration between the architects and other stakeholders. First, they create a building model with BIM and then literally walk through and around its twin in virtual reality. Immersive visualization enables architects to present their designs and firms – to showcase property for sale or under construction. The main benefits of VR in construction it`s the managers, supervisors, inspectors, owners, or tenants don’t even need to be physically present to take a walk-through of a building.
