“…Augmented reality is characterized by a real environment supplemented by virtual objects through computer graphics (Milgram and Kishino, 1994). In an augmented reality, real and virtual objects present rational spatial relations and coexist in an augmented space (Behzadan et al, 2015). An augmented world mainly created by computerbased techniques on a real environment is referred as an augmented virtuality (Milgram and Kishino, 1994).…”

ABSTRACT:This paper deals with the viewpoint management in 3D environments considering an allocentric environment. The recent advances in computer sciences and the growing number of affordable remote sensors lead to impressive improvements in the 3D visualisation. Despite some research relating to the analysis of visual variables used in 3D environments, we notice that it lacks a real standardisation of 3D representation rules. In this paper we study the "viewpoint" as being the first considered parameter for a normalised visualisation of 3D data. Unlike in a 2D environment, the viewing direction is not only fixed in a top down direction in 3D. A non-optimal camera location means a poor 3D representation in terms of relayed information. Based on this statement we propose a model based on the analysis of the computational display pixels that determines a viewpoint maximising the relayed information according to one kind of query. We developed an OpenGL prototype working on screen pixels that allows to determine the optimal camera location based on a screen pixels colour algorithm. The viewpoint management constitutes a first step towards a normalised 3D geovisualisation.

“…The purpose of using such technology can be diverse [2]. From the monetarization one to error detection, model evaluation, update and validation to infrastructure tasks [3] such as: site dimensioning, excavations, geometry, supervision, planning or control [4]. The usage of Augmented Reality systems could be classified as stationary or mobile.…”

Abstract. By using the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) principle on the formwork case study, after determining the functions and the technical solutions, the application must be made as optimum as possible in order to assure productivity and provide the necessary information as quick as possible. The concept is to create a complex management for the formwork based on augmented reality. By taking into account the development rate of the information, augmented reality is tending to be one of the widest (in term of domain) visualization instrument. Also used in the construction domain, augmented reality can be applied also for the case of formwork design and management. The application of the solution will be retrieved in the construction of the product, its transportation and deposit. The usage of this concept will help reduce, even eliminate human or technical errors and can offer a precise state of a specific required formwork from the stock.

“…One of the most interesting and important progress is given by the introduction of the Augmented Reality (AR) in the asset management world: software companies [19][20][21] and researchers [13,[22][23][24] developed various software and plugins to allow maintenance operators to interact with the building with tablets, smartphones, or even smart glasses. These solutions enable users to query, identify, and enrich objects, by remotely modifying the BIM model contained in a server.…”

A National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) study shows that all stakeholders in the capital facilities industry waste a huge amount of money looking for, validating, and/or recreating facility information that should be readily available. The total cost of these activities within the capital facilities industries in the United States was conservatively estimated at $15.8 billion in 2002, with two-thirds of that cost occurring during the facilities' operations and maintenance phase. This is confirmed by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) Maintenance Survey in 2009, which states that the loss of information generates an added cost of 12.4% of total annual mean O&M costs. Nowadays, standards and specifications have been developed about availability, integrity, and transfer of data and information during the operational phase of an asset life. PAS 1192-3, among these, suggests the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) models to store and access facility information, but the turning point is the ability to provide different stakeholders with different data, which should be targeted to them, easily accessible, readable, and updatable (and up to date). This research started with the collection of asset managers' needs and then the definition of new procedures for assets and facility management in a BIM-based workflow focusing on how to allow users to access, use, and update facility data stored in a BIM model without a BIM authoring tool. Examples are shown for: (1) management of rooms occupancy; (2) management of mechanical equipment status; (3) qualitative condition assessment of buildings; and (4) appraisal of the service life of building components and systems according to ISO 15686-8. These four tools allow to compute and control some key indicators of the asset, with also the possibility to compare them inside a portfolio. This paper presents the four tools, paying also attention to the workflows to be followed and to the different data needs of the stakeholders involved.
