VR and AR visualisation of BIM data: Changes in tech over the last 10 years. – NXT BLD London, June 2018

 

In his talk on Virtual and Augmented Reality and visualisation, Dr Maxwell Mallia-Parfitt shot from the hip, defining which technologies were worth exploring and which ones should be avoided. Looking at collaborative experiences, his talk looked at the emergence, or re-emergence of room scale VR, where teams can talk and discuss projects without needing to wear headsets. Previously this was done in ‘CAVEs’ now it can be done for a lot less money. Mallia-Parfitt also gave some great examples on the use of mobile AR.
