Create Coordination Issues with Augmented Reality (AR) for BIM Models
Using Augmented Reality (AR) allows you to overlay 3D models onto your physical jobsite, making it easier to identify clashes or design discrepancies in real-time. By creating coordination issues directly within the AR view, you can capture precise visual context and immediately assign tasks to the appropriate team members for resolution.
