Argyle \u2013 A site walk with AR<\/h2>\n
\n

The video demonstrates a site walk with Argyle\u2019s augmented reality. As we progress through the site, more of the model loads around us. You can request a a trial on your AR device at argyle.build<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earthworks augmented reality Camera on an excavator<\/h2>\n
\n

The SITECH Northeast crew is testing new technology from Trimble. They recently put the new Earthworks<\/a> Augmented Reality camera on a small excavator and showed ourselves what it could do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

GAMMA AR \u2013 Object-based issue management and progress tracking<\/h2>\n
\n

GAMMA AR<\/a> is a construction app that overlays 3D BIM Models on the jobsite with augmented reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HoloSite and the Atom \u2013 Making decisions, validating, and planning in real-time.<\/h2>\n
\n

HoloSite is the world\u2019s first Engineering-Grade Augmented Reality platform by XYZ Reality<\/a>. It\u2019s an integrated cloud-based solution plugging into the AR\u00a0construction headset \u2013 The Atom. Here\u2019s a first-person demo of the Atom at Autodesk University 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Insight AWP\u00a0\u2013\u00a0From a Data Warehouse to on-site augmented reality<\/h2>\n
\n

The video demonstrates how augmented reality enhances the use of Advanced Work Packaging (AWP). The video also explains the Data Warehouse principle that is behind the successful use of AR. This content is provided by Insight AWP<\/a>, a company that implements AWP processes and technology for clients across the engineering, procurement and construction phases of mega projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

OnSiteXR \u2013\u00a0Fastening prefabricated building elements and capture the work done<\/h2>\n
\n

OnSiteXR <\/a>is a Mixed Reality app that assists first line workers in fastening prefabricated building elements and capture the work done for construction documentation with the HoloLens 2 speech to text and image capture abilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trimble Connect AR \u2013 Precast concrete quality control<\/h2>\n
\n

BuildingPoint Scandinavia visited precast company Spenncon AS in H\u00f8nefoss to learn more about how Trimble Connect<\/a> AR can be used with their Tekla models in the factory and on the construction site for quality control using iPad and iPhone.<\/p>\n

\n

vGIS \u2013 Documenting construction with engineering-grade augmented reality AR<\/h2>\n
\n

vGIS <\/a>is a high-accuracy augmented reality visualization platform. vGIS transforms spatial data \u2014 BIM, GIS and 3D scans \u2014 into descriptive AR visuals to power mobile productivity tools. This video shows an end-to-end process of capturing and then visualizing captured data with vGIS. Captured scans (reality capture) can be used for planning and future excavations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
