Some examples of how to use AR: • Crews can use AR to identify and mark utilities or underground services. • MEP teams can "see" through floors and walls to understand how and where MEP systems and equipment are installed, comparing the reality of the completed work to the documented design and identifying potential clashes. • Contractors can use AR to do inspections to ensure work has been properly built, installed, or completed. Considerations AR is an effective tool for collaboration, allowing multiple people in one area to view the same digital information at the same time on their individual devices or a shared one. Because AR allows the user to remain aware of the surrounding environment, it's ideal and safe for use outdoors and benefits from integration with GNSS for accurate positioning of the models on site.
