- Construction industry leaders like Gilbane Building Co., Gensler and AECOM are testing augmented reality tools in the field to determine how the technology can assist in design and production, according to the MIT Technology Review.
- In a test run on one of its projects, a Gilbane manager was able to use the Microsoft Hololens-based system to detect a design flaw, preventing the company from spending $5,000 on the wrong material.
- Hololens works with building visualization software from companies like Autodesk and Trimble, allowing the user to see holographic images of the unbuilt portions of a project as overlays onto what has already been completed.
