Construction Augmented Reality in Construction

Augmented reality will soon become an integral part of any construction process. Having joined the transformation, ICTHUB is already working on several augmented reality solutions that will change the way architects and engineers work.

Faster and more efficient construction process with AR

All people can see, experience, and comprehend the world around them in 3D. Now, unlock the third dimension in construction with augmented reality. Perform as-built vs. as-designed validation and reconstruct 3D models in AR. Employ sensor-based AR solutions for automatic hazard detection. Finally, use AR headsets to work on projects remotely and improve collaboration.

  • Automatic hazard detection
  • As-built vs. as-designed validation in AR
  • 3D site reconstruction in AR
  • Teleoperation and collaboration in AR

As-build vs As-designed validation

From 3D AR reconstructions in real time to AR clash detection, transforms the construction process to help you achieve the highest level of engineering precision. In continuous progress monitoring, use AR to detect and eliminate errors earlier — by comparing as-built models with the designed 4D BIM representations. Most importantly, augmented reality in construction presents an unparalleled way to explore the construction site from all sides, down to the smallest detail.

  • AR progress monitoring
  • Explore construction site in AR
  • Clash detections in AR

3D Site Reconstruction

Use augmented reality construction solutions to combine on-site sensors with images from photo and video cameras. Then, allow the BIM managers to extract structural information in real time and digitally reconstruct the site for further detailed analysis and simulation.

  • Structure from motion pipeline
  • As-built measurements
  • Digital twin representations
  • Photogrammetry

Automatic hazard detection

Enhance safety monitoring with advanced imaging algorithms that continuously monitor the state of all critical infrastructures and temporal equipment movements, as well as send emergency notifications to the wearable devices carried by the field staff. The use of augmented reality in construction goes beyond headsets.

  • Probabilistic models for risk assessments
  • Temporal objects tracking
  • Tracking objects from video cameras
  • Integrated wearables

Teleoperation and collaboration

The decentralization of the design and architecture services across the nation unlocked the creative potential for owners and made it possible to work with the leading service providers. Such level of decentralization requires new tools and approaches in collaboration. Allowing to operate remotely and respond more rapidly on different stages of the construction process, AR comes as a fitting solution.

  • Remote meetings over BIM models in AR
  • Remote guidance for field workers in AR
  • Virtual presence on-site
  • Instant assistance

Enhancing communication within the team through spatial models

Share the same model view in multiple headsets with collaboration tools like gaze-tracking and annotations.

Holographic model representation in real scale

Load BIM models and link them to the environment to make precise measurements between the model and the points in real world.

Improving communication between parties using BIM models on-site

Overlay BIM models over on-site physical spaces to verify plans and constructability early on, and prevent errors.
