From Sci-Fi to Site Plans: How Augmented Reality is Changing Design-Build

Once considered cutting-edge, technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality, and natural language processing are now ubiquitous. Today, anyone can ask a natural language processing platform for recipe ideas, visualize new furniture in their home with an app, use AI to craft a social media post, or prank friends with image generators – for better or worse.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) space is no exception. The availability and usability of machine learning, AI, and various forms of digital reality have skyrocketed, making technology not just an option but an expectation.

This month’s episode of the Design-Build Delivers Podcast, sponsored by USCAD, delves into the use of augmented reality on job sites with Argyle CEO Maret Thatcher and DBIA’s Director of VDC Brian Skripac. Listen to "From Sci-Fi to Site Plans: How AR is Changing Design-Build" to discover how AR solutions like Argyle can help design-build teams meet the standards of Design-Build Done Right®, understand the impact of increased technology use on job sites and explore what’s next for technology in the AEC industry — and maybe a sci-fi pop culture reference or three.
