3D Visualization of Simulated Construction Operations in Outdoor Augmented Reality

Prof. Kamat and his group use georeferencing techniques to animate simulated construction processes in real-time

Visualizing planned construction operations in an immersive interactive world improves coordination, safety, and communication during construction.

Prof. Kamat and his group are studying advanced positioning and tracking technologies as well as state-of-the-art Augmented Reality (AR) visualization methods to design and implement a mobile wearable platform capable of animating simulation models in real-time in outdoor environments such as construction jobsites.

The methods developed in this research facilitate the process of decision-making on construction jobsites by enabling the communication, verification, and validation of planned and simulated operations.

This study was funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant CMS-0448762
