Why You Need an Augmented Reality Solution Up until now, you may have considered AR to be just a passing trend or too complicated or technical to incorporate into your workflows. But AR has been in use for decades in other industries, and it's now becoming a must-have tool in construction. With an AR solution, you and your teams can: Visualize the design in the context of the actual site A variety of teams and stakeholders can visualize the project in its physical environment and gain a shared understanding of it. Contractors can compare the 2D plan or 3D model to the jobsite to ensure they're accurately installing components. At the same time, external stakeholders like owners, investors, and public officials can see the end result of the project on a true-to-life scale. "Being able to see the concrete reinforcement and the 2D plan in its real-world location without having to put up markers or pin the model manually is quite remarkable." — Jason Carpenter, Pre-sales Technical Consultant, BuildingPoint Australia
