Embracing the Future: Augmented Reality Revolutionizes Construction The recent demonstration by vGIS Inc. has ignited excitement within the construction and design realms, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the transformative potential of augmented reality (AR) and 3D scanning technologies. These cutting-edge innovations are poised to revolutionize on-site surveys, ushering in a new era of efficiency and precision. Advancing Data Collection: The era of laborious manual measurements and tedious data logging is rapidly giving way to immersive experiences facilitated by AR and 3D scanning. These technologies enable real-time visualization and interaction with digital models seamlessly overlaid onto physical environments, streamlining the data collection process. Reshaping Design and Construction: The applications of AR span the entire lifecycle of construction projects, from site assessments to project planning and execution. Architects can now envision walking through virtual blueprints on-site, while engineers can pinpoint potential clashes before construction even commences. With vGIS Inc.'s cutting-edge solutions, the possibilities for innovation are boundless. Unlocking Potential: As AR technology continues to evolve, its impact on the construction industry will only intensify. By streamlining workflows, enhancing collaboration, and minimizing errors, AR holds the key to unlocking unprecedented levels of productivity and efficiency, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements. The future of construction is being shaped by these revolutionary technologies, and the industry stands at the precipice of a transformative era.

The new digital edition of AEC Magazine is out! Lots of AI related news exploded this September and i talked with Márton Kiss and Sylwester Pawluk about GRAPHISOFT plans for AI. Also had my first chat with Daniel Csillag the CEO of Graphisoft. Keir Regan-Alexander brings reality to AI in architecture today. Bentley Systems acquired Cesium to combine open GIS with open Digital Twins, we got Julien Moutte Bentley’s CTO and Patrick Cozzi to explain their plans. BIM 2.0 is getting expert systems and big productivity benefits through modelling with assemblies over simple walls, doors and windows. Richard Harpham explains how Skema.AI, Hypar, Parafin, Higharc and TestFit change the tired BIM workflow. Snaptrude’s development velocity and financial backing will add schematic design and drawings in the next few weeks, I talked to Altaf Ganihar and Britton L. about adoption and competing against Revit. Vectorworks 2025: CEO, Biplab Sarkar answers my questions on the latest flagship release and gives is his view on AI, AR and Openness. The Autodesk activist investor problem has dogged the company since June, I try an unravel the situation to find the motives and impact. Autodesk finally launches Unifi as Content Catalog for Revit content and being linked to Autodesk Construction Cloud can share BIM content amongst project teams. Finally I bring up the issue of pricing metastasis across tech stacks which is busting budgets of Design IT directors as software firms seek increases of anywhere between 60-300% in subscription fees. Architectural fees are decreasing, firms are going bust and there are layoffs. Software firms need to consider the damage they do to TRUST and concentrate on delivering VALUE. Also don’t forget NXTBLD and NXTDEV videos on www.nxtaec.com
