AR/VR in Construction: Safety Training, BIM Workflows, and Site Design

How do leading construction teams use virtual and augmented reality to accelerate design and improve on-site safety training? How do leading designers use BIM data in their AR visualization projects? What are other leading use cases for XR in construction?

Join us for an hour of (virtual) presentations and speed networking! Joel Pennington, Head of Product at VIM, will present on how their software is revolutionizing the BIM data workflow, and in turn disrupting the construction design process with interactive and immersive 3D.

The first half of the event will cover how immersive technology is used in site design, and to improve worker safety and project planning in the construction industry. The second half will revolve around networking so you can meet other folks interested in XR!

By the end of the event, you will see how AR & VR will change the future of how Architecture, Engineering, and Construction professionals build better buildings for a better world.
