Epic/Unreal - I'm working to confirm a web presentation from an Unreal team member on DataSmith
https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/beta and Unreal demos for Architecture and Construction.
According to CG Architects, 77% of surveyed professionals https://goo.gl/TS2ipS are already using or exploring XR for Architecture.
Join us on WEDNESDAY, January 24th for presenters and a panel discussion on new hardware and software for best practices for XR in AEC and real estate. We will discuss use cases and applied XR for design, construction and real estate design and development. If you share my interest in how XR will change the $10 trillion global construction industry, real estate, the built environment we all live in and architecture, join us at this and future XR for AEC and Real Estate meetups. For those of you who also share my interest in how 3D data becomes a building using advanced manufacturing, robotics and innovative materials for prefab on steroids (full digitalization), I invite you to join a new Meetup group I just started focused on this very big topic
3D Data + Robots + Wood.
https://goo.gl/UHUcFd
This new meetup group is NOT focused on VR/AR/MR but on how 3D data is best used for the design, simulation, fabrication and construction/assembly of complex buildings. This Prefab Mass Timber / Robotics and Wood meetup group is the first in the U.S. The second meetup of this 3D Data + Robots + wood group takes place on Thursday, February 1st from 7 to 9 pm at Pluto VR.

I hope to see you at future events and to help make Seattle a global leader in PropTech, Digital Construction, Mixed Reality Smart Cities and more.
Thanks,
Greg Howes
• What to bring - $5 donation to help cover beer costs and keep the events free.
Relevant demos, interest in AR, MR and VR for architecture and construction as well as real estate.
• Important to know
The future of architecture, construction and real estate is already here, it's just unevenly distributed, so let's meetup, hack and make it real.
