    I'm curious what everyone is using for VR/AR. I have done some things with Unity and I have used Augment and also FARO vr for point clouds. I would like to know what everyone else is using and to what degree of success. My initial thought is like what…

    The 3D rendering of subsurface utility pipes inside a virtual excavation is cool. But if you don’t have 3D data to support it (e.g. if you don’t know the depth of the pipes), that sort of renderings could actually be misleading. Users told us that…

    Subsurface utility excavation work planning would greatly benefit from Augmented Reality. Images like the one below sparked the imagination of many of our users, who say they could save a significant amount of time and guess work if they better knew the…

    Facility maintenance work may be repetitive: sets of instructions need to be executed on a regular basis, to ensure continued operation of the facility. As explained in my previous post , an Augmented Reality (AR) tutor could help new employees familiarize…

    Construction is a complex process aimed at the development of physical infrastructure. Designers propose a 3D building concept, and ultimately builders create the 3D object that corresponds to the designer’s idea. However, even though designers may have…

    Augmented reality finds new applications every week. So far, those that have been proposed for the infrastructure world are generally either related to displaying hidden data (such as underground infrastructure models ), or displaying attributes related…

    The term “Augmented Reality” is interpreted in various ways. But the concept of “live” augmented reality usually means that the physical world is augmented from your current location, at the moment you are viewing the world – that means here and now …
