Abstract
It is common occurrence that on-site workers misunderstand various detailing aspects of the provided documentation. Some of them can be unclear and should be discussed again due to construction related processes. In order to deal with this issue the application for mobile devices was proposed. The developed application allows to visualize two-dimensional print projects with the help of VR/AR (Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality) technology. The paper is focused on the assessment of the possibility to use the VR/AR technology during the process of construction. The feasibility of the solution is tested on the basis of a three-dimensional model created with the software operating in accordance with Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. The developed mobile VR/AR solution was enhanced with basic functionality to verify structural members as well as entire structural system. Moreover, it allows to communicate in a simple manner, which can lead to the improving of the effectiveness and preventing the risk of construction errors.
Highlights
The development and implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in various phases of the project is one of the current trends in construction industry
Designing with the instruments, which operate in accordance with BIM technology (BIM software) is associated with an increased workload during concept and design phases [1], the associated automation gives the opportunity to obtain additional benefits mainly due to obtaining an accurate three-dimensional model filled with necessary information [2]
The Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technology provide with the possibility of additional verifying, coordination and communication, and can be used during the construction phase, even under construction conditions
Summary
The development and implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in various phases of the project is one of the current trends in construction industry. Designing with the instruments, which operate in accordance with BIM technology (BIM software) is associated with an increased workload during concept and design phases [1], the associated automation gives the opportunity to obtain additional benefits mainly due to obtaining an accurate three-dimensional model filled with necessary information [2]. BIM-compliant model enables efficient collaboration between all project partners, improved documentation workflow, and improved-quality project results, via enhanced performance analysis and multi-disciplinary planning and coordination [3,4 and 5]. It allows to represent and interpret information about it outside the BIM environment. The conditions that are necessary for the correct operation of the developed application have been analyzed, and the potential use was assessed basing on realistic condition of construction process
