Building Investment (Nov - Dec 2016)
As we roll out our last issue for the year, it is only natural to cast a retrospective glance on past events. The year 2016 will most likely be remembered for Brexit and Americans electing a billionaire businessman as President. It was also a challenging year for the building and construction sector with the regional economic slowdown, government cooling measures and bank credit squeeze...

visualising the design in the context of its<br />
physical environment, the user can better<br />
understand and execute the required actions<br />
in real time.<br />
issues, and effectively resolve coordination<br />
problems.<br />
A vision of the future<br />
Mixed reality and holographic technology<br />
enable the construction industry to<br />
engage and interact with design data more<br />
intuitively. More importantly, external<br />
stakeholders who do not possess professional<br />
expertise in construction can easily decipher<br />
the information, exploring a project in 3D<br />
with freedom.<br />
Mixed reality technology also vastly<br />
improved remote collaboration between<br />
geographically separated parties working on<br />
a project. The ability to share 3D holograms<br />
with remote stakeholders, for instance,<br />
improves internal communication, and<br />
drives efficiency.<br />
Every construction project is unique.<br />
This makes translation of abstract ideas<br />
into physical design information a complex<br />
and labor-intensive task. Misinterpretation<br />
throughout this translation process may<br />
also lead to costly errors and a compromise<br />
of productivity. On a mixed reality platform,<br />
such project data and information is<br />
superimposed on the physical environment.<br />
This minimises the need for translation<br />
and reduces subjective interpretation. By<br />
Taking the leap<br />
Integrating workflows and improving<br />
communication in each project team can<br />
address some of the biggest problems the<br />
way organisations in the construction<br />
industry function. By providing contextrelated<br />
information, improved data<br />
interpretation, and collaboration through<br />
real 3D visualisation, mixed reality not<br />
only reduces cost, shortens schedules and<br />
improves quality – this game-changing<br />
technology has the potential to precipitate<br />
significant, long-term change in the<br />
construction industry. As part of Trimble’s<br />
Mixed-Reality Pilot Program, partners<br />
including AECOM, Gensler and China State<br />
Construction Engineering Corporation<br />
(CSCEC) are exploring and utilising<br />
mixed reality in their projects to improve<br />
team communication, data interpretation<br />
and collaboration during the design<br />
development and pre-construction stages of<br />
their projects. <br />
