AR and VR Integration in Construction Industry

The impending transformation of the construction industry looms large as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies become integral to its operations. This seismic shift promises to redefine the design, planning, and execution of construction projects. GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, highlights the collaborative potential of AR/VR technologies, extending their impact to project management, safety training, and customer problem resolution.
 
According to Saurabh Daga, Associate Project Manager of Disruptive Tech at GlobalData, the integration of AR/VR has the power to revolutionize design and planning processes. Augmented reality facilitates real-time visualization and adjustments, minimizing errors and the need for revisions. Virtual reality, on the other hand, immerses stakeholders in 3D project representations, fostering alignment prior to the actual construction phase. Beyond design, these technologies streamline project management and collaboration by enabling real-time interaction from any location. They also enhance safety training by simulating on-site hazards in virtual environments, reducing the risk of accidents.
