Before workers start pouring concrete, a road, tunnel or bridge is first designed down to the smallest detail in a 3D/BIM model. These models can be viewed from a first-person perspective via a VR headset. This gives a much better picture of the planned project.
A model or a 3D printed model does not give the same image as a life-sized design. By exporting the models to a 3D viewer, you can view any design through a VR headset. This makes the coherence of all the elements immediately clear.
A complex infrastructure project involves various people, each with their own specialisation. Often these people are spread over different locations. Thanks to VR, it is possible for the different users to view the same project at the same time.
New technologies such as VR and AR are highly suitable for application in infrastructure projects. In effect, these can only be tested when they have already been implemented, and that is often too late. The combination of Infranea's 3D/BIM expertise with the latest VR/AR technologies offers unprecedented opportunities to validate and optimise infrastructure projects in advance.
