Utilization of Augmented Reality in Construction Projects

The primary causes of delays in construction projects and the drop in planned percent completion is the lack of coordination between various stakeholders. This issue can be addressed by Building Information Modeling (BIM) and especially the use of augmented reality in BIM. BIM is a popular information handling process. Despite its potential, the utilization in construction phase is very limited due to the lack of interaction between real and virtual worlds. As technologies evolve, so does our nature of imagining and visualizing something. Construction design is heavily dependent upon visualization, so it is no wonder that new data visualization technologies like AR and VR would influence and enhance BIM in leaps and bounds.
