In a world where traditional workflows are struggling and gaps in Building Information Modelling (BIM) persist, Matt Torma, the Director of Mission Critical at XYZ Reality, demonstrates how the use of augmented reality (AR) technology is revolutionizing construction sites by projecting live 3D data, speeding up layouts by up to 5 times, and reducing risks during handover processes.
The demand for resilient digital infrastructure is rapidly increasing, driven by factors such as the expansion of artificial intelligence, the growth of connected devices, and the impact of climate change. Companies like Meta are investing substantial amounts in data centers, highlighting the exponential growth in this sector.
Despite advancements in BIM and digital twins, many construction workflows still rely on outdated methods, leading to delays, rework, and cost overruns. AR technology addresses these challenges by providing real-time, spatially accurate data, enabling teams to detect issues early on, improve coordination, and enhance precision during the construction process. This not only accelerates build cycles but also boosts confidence and trust among stakeholders, ultimately leading to more successful project outcomes.
