[VIDEO] AR Helps Dorm Construction

Sept. 18, 2019

Archinect reports that several construction companies are combining their use of design platforms like building information modeling (BIM) with augmented reality (AR) applications to help streamline production and efficiency. 

Chicago-based Pepper Construction, for example, combines BIM approaches and Microsoft HoloLens to help design and construct their projects. Recently, the team applied these techniques to the construction of a new housing/academic facility at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).

Pepper Construction said the team created a 3D laser scan of each floor before and after concrete was poured. All issues identified by the scans save days of delays and thousands of dollars in potential fixes.
