WDBE UPDATES // WDBE Talks episode 12 released

The Importance of Immediacy: Talking BIM, VR/AR, and Supersensor Integration with Rune Huse Karlstad.

“I think people underestimate the potential of actually experiencing your models in 3D. Look at how things are done today – it’s 3D models on a 2D plane, just a computer screen. That can make it hard to fully understand the design layout and for clients to engage with. It’s often difficult for them to relate that to a drawing or understand the space they’re given when starting to work on a project. Using 3D models and virtual reality allows us to experience the models one-to-one scale as they would if the building were finished. It’s a huge benefit, especially when it comes to the time it takes for everyone to understand the basics and get feedback. People can lose days looking at paper drawings and not fully get the grasp of what you’re building or what you’re getting. But being inside VR? It’s much more efficient.”

Our discussion covered:

– The real-world benefits of deploying BIM and VR in unison

– The importance of securing quality client feedback

– The challenges of tech implementations during Covid 

– The need to remove obstacles to adoption for VR/AR technologies

– Future threats and opportunities for the industry
