Explore GAMMA AR’s Augmented Reality for BIM Model Visualization and Collaboration

The construction industry has long been at the forefront of technological advancements, driving innovation and creating countless opportunities within the broader AEC industry. With each passing year, the industry undergoes significant transformations, rendering the practices of the past barely recognizable. One technology in particular has captured my excitement: Augmented Reality (AR).

By enabling real-time visualization not only in the boardroom but also on the construction site itself, AR technology has the power to revolutionize the way we approach project design and management. Tedious tasks such as Clash Detection, Collaboration, and interpretation of 2D Drawings can now be simplified and streamlined through the adoption of AR.

Join me as we explore an innovative solution called GAMMA AR and learn how you can streamline your construction site monitoring and documentation. From GAMMA AR itself: See how effective your projects can be.

Introducing Gamma Ar

GAMMA AR is focused on “bringing your BIM Models to the construction site”, delivering dynamic, and immersive project visualization. With the power of augmented reality technology, GAMMA AR enables design teams, contractors, and stakeholders, by visualizing project models in real-time and full-scale within their spatial context, unlocking a wealth of possibilities. Providing the opportunity to detect clashes, compare design to construction, submit and track issues, and foster collaboration, GAMMA AR offers a comprehensive suite of features.

By leveraging a user-friendly mobile app and portal, you can effortlessly upload or connect your projects, immersing yourself in a seamless experience of collaboration and visualization that spans from design to project handoff.

Who Uses Gamma Ar

GAMMA AR caters to a diverse range of stakeholders including Architects, MEP Planners, Structural Engineers, Contractors, and more, offering a seamless setup process to kickstart your project integration and visualization. You can effortlessly bring your initial design directly to the construction site, ensuring a thorough examination to identify and mitigate any major site conflicts. MEP Professionals can visualize and assess different system layouts, proactively resolving potential clashes at an early stage. Likewise, contractors can readily compare design plans with on-site construction, fostering effective decision-making and enhancing project coordination.
