“…The system features knowledge integration and machine learning analysis of weather, soil moisture, and water availability data from three environmental sensor databases to calculate suggested daily irrigation watering requirements for farming areas in Australia. (Kim, Park, Lim, & Kim, 2013) describes a system to help management and planning on construction sites, and (Kim, Lee, Lee, & Choi, 2013) demonstrates how augmented reality and mobile technology can be applied for construction sites.…”

This article describes the construction and evaluation of a mobile application for use by park maintenance personnel that features an interactive map allowing for real time positioning of the user in relation to equipment locations, and the ability to create, view, and edit maintenance logs. The application was evaluated by the Park Services department of the City of Kelowna in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The results of the study demonstrate that numerous tasks, especially locating equipment and logging maintenance, can be more efficient using mobile technology. Further, technicians are receptive to the introduction of technology in their work schedules and find it easy to integrate into their routines. An analysis of the time savings shows that the technology may save technicians 15 to 50 minutes daily which translates to thousands of dollars annually in savings per technician and increased productivity rates.

Mobile augmented reality (MAR) enhances the real world through the superimposition of computer-generated information while not interfering with their users' mobility, having great potential to support various construction tasks. However, such information may lead to cognitive overload and thus could lead to adverse effects on the performance of tasks. Also, the narrowing of a user's field of view that comes with MAR use could limit his/her ability to notice events in their surroundings. Therefore, it is important to understand how MAR use affects cognitive behavior, as well as task and safety performance for better design and applications of MAR in construction. As a preliminary investigation, this study conducted laboratory simulations of rebar-inspection tasks, and compared the cognitive load (CL), task performance (TP) and situational awareness (SA) of users of two types of MAR system -i.e., head-mounted and handheld -against those of inspectors using traditional paper-based methods. In particular, participants' CL was measured with the NASA-TLX; their TP, by completion time and the number of rebars correctly detected; and their SA, with Taylor's SART.

Augmented reality (AR) is capturing increasing attention as a way to provide cognitive assistance in many fields. Inspiring from the benefits of AR, architecture, engineering and construction industries and researchers are interested to apply AR technologies for various construction tasks such as design review, assembly, inspection or facility maintenance, etc. However, even though AR technologies are designed to support users' cognitive capability by providing superimposed information on realworld scenes, this information from AR may lead to one's cognitive overload, causing an adverse effect on task performance. As a result, it is important to understand how AR would affect one's cognitive load, and in turn, task performance for better use of AR systems in construction. As a preliminary investigation, this research compared task performance and cognitive loads during traditional paper-based and AR-assisted rebar inspection tasks at the laboratory setting. Participants' task performance and cognitive load were measured by 1) completion time and the number of rebars correctly detected, and 2) NASA Task Load Index (TLX). Based on the result, we discussed the impact of AR application on rebar inspection tasks from a cognitive perspective.
