Site Management with Augmented Reality Technology (S.M.A.R.T.)

Standard construction management technologies are an inefficient use of modern tools for coordination, documentation, and acceleration during construction. S.M.A.R.T. technology enables efficiency and communication with the team anywhere in the world. This class will showcase the case study of a $1.6 billion airport project and how S.M.A.R.T. technology was implemented to streamline the construction process through virtual and augmented reality. Attendees will see firsthand how a 4K 360-degree camera was used to scan and produce point clouds for existing conditions, virtually document punch lists, and record imaging for archiving. In addition, attendees will learn how smart glasses were integrated with BIM 360 tools to review 3D models in current field conditions while virtually collaborating with designers, engineers, the contractor, and clients concurrently.
