Artificial Reality Enhances Actual Construction Performance

Trimble and Aecom have partnered on the application of a virtual-reality headset that allows users to walk through holograms of engineering models prior to construction, saving both time and money

“Our digital world is growing exponentially but we interact with it in the same way we did 30 and 40 years ago—behind 2D screens,” Aviad Almagor Director of Trimble’s Mixed-Reality Program says. “With mixed reality, the digital content crosses the threshold into the real world. This process dramatically improves our ability to understand the relations between the physical and digital assets, it transforms the way we consume, interact and communicate information.”
