🏗️ Enhancing Construction Workflow with Augmented Reality 🏗️ This week’s Practical Application comes from the Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction. The paper titled “Framework Guiding and Supporting Augmented Reality Implementation for Synchronized Communication” is authored by Rita El Kassis, Steven K. Ayer, Ph.D., Mounir El Asmar, and Kristen Parrish. The paper aims to help construction workers use augmented reality to communicate better and avoid project delays and extra costs. 📝 #PracticalApplications This paper serves as a resource for site construction practitioners seeking to integrate augmented reality (AR) as an effective communication tool throughout the construction process. By offering a practical guiding framework, the paper facilitates the implementation of AR for interaction purposes between on-site and off-site personnel, reforming communication channels. Construction professionals can leverage AR technology to conduct inspections, address inquiries, and collaborate efficiently, bridging the gap between those physically present at the construction site and those working remotely. Within the framework presented in this paper, the implementation of AR is facilitated through a breakdown of each supporting tool, accompanied by specifications and considerations for their effective utilization in varying site conditions. By offering users a clear understanding of the specifications of each tool, such as their capabilities, features, and technical requirements, the framework empowers construction practitioners to make informed decisions tailored to their specific project needs, ensuring that practitioners can select the most suitable AR solutions for tasks like inspections, collaborative discussions, and problem-solving. This approach not only enhances the overall efficiency of communication but also maximizes the utility of AR technology in diverse construction scenarios, ultimately contributing to the successful integration of AR into the construction workflow.
