I would like to know the challenges and opportunities regarding implementation of an augmented reality system in construction. What are the possible advantages and areas to explore etc?
Augmented reality can add to the visualization of 3D spaces in the construction project. So one might not have to build scale models which are miniatures and then place on a platform for everyone to see.
Rather, VR headsets could be given to take an entire walkthrough of the physical space in the 3D environment would be much more effective.
Devices like smartphones and tablets are heavily used these days for augmented reality and its usage is increasing across games, education, overlay interfaces, etc. The computing app makes it easier to overlay objects on top of the real physical world giving the user and entire overview of the surface or object.
