“…Unlike Hou, Wang and Truijens (2015) that used cumbersome devices such as a PC, sensor, monitor and a large marker, this research required only smart glasses or a smartphone and a marker to work, which facilitates its use. This setup may favor its use in construction sites.…”

“…Other researches use a mouse TRUIJENS, 2015) and touch screens (SHIRAZI; BEHZADAN, 2015) as a control mechanism. Their studies targeted the comparison between paper-based manuals and AR systems as guidance to the assembly of: a LEGO robot ; a piping system (HOU; WANG; TRUIJENS, 2015); and a scale model of a building structure (SHIRAZI; BEHZADAN, 2015). The AR implementation may not be suitable for all applications (NEE et al, 2012).…”

Abstracthis article presents the development of an Augmented Reality (AR) application to assist in the assembly of a precast wood-frame wall, based on the BIM model of the wall execution sequence. The research study used the Design Science Research approach and its aim was to develop an AR application named "montAR" (version 2.0). This application offers a tutorial that combines a wall model visualized in AR in actual scale, followed by an audio with step-by-step instructions of the assembly process. Its applicability was simulated in a laboratory with the participation of volunteers (architecture and engineering students). Two visualization gadgets were used and compared: smartphones and smart glasses. The potentialities and difficulties of the use of the AR system were assessed through a questionnaire answered by the participants and through direct observation and result analysis by the researchers. The results demonstrated the potential of using AR for precast wall assembly. From a technological innovation perspective, this study emphasizes the potential use of AR as a technology suitable for training and for construction quality control.Keywords: Augmented Reality.

“…From the various literature, there are less research on the BIM utilization to support fieldwork, likewise, collaborative information sharing and on-site coordination planning. Besides, there are also limited research on BIM usage in the hands of workers in construction sites [4]. The implication of that fact is computer generated dimensions, textures, spatial location, and environment, provide a very restricted level of "realism" because of the shortage of sensory feedback and thus the lack of ability to afford perceptual and cognitive benefits.…”

The digitalisation of the construction industry fuels the application of sophisticated virtual product models. Concerning current measures in construction project management, the acquisition of sufficient data and information hinders the project execution. However, the application of fully automated techniques within the construction industry is not yet a common practice. This explains the slow rate of digital growth in construction. This study is aiming to investigate the adoption of augmented reality (AR) using building information modeling (BIM) content in the construction industry. In order to achieve the aim, a questionnaire survey is conducted across four countries, namely Malaysia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. A comparison of AR-BIM adoption behaviour among these four countries is established. The findings show that AR has great potential to be adopted in the construction industry, provided that the obstacles hindering the adoption are resolved. Among the four countries, Malaysians are optimistic to the AR-BIM adoption. This might be due to the great effort in promoting technology adoption which is done by the Malaysian government through the Construction Industry Transformation Plan (CITP). A software architecture framework of AR-BIM is developed using the Unity and BIM Model workflow. This study is important to serve as a guideline to practitioners in adopting AR-BIM. Also, it helps the decision makers to emphasize which technology adoption criteria is to be focused on in enhancing AR-BIM adoption in respective organizations.

“…Since then, there have been many researches dealing with the junction of AR + AEC (Abboud 168 2014). Some examples are the use of AR as a communication tool for urban design processes 169 (Broschart, Zeile, and Streich 2013), for displaying information and data about building 170 technologies and management (Dong, Feng, and Kamat 2013), assisting in the assembly of 171 complex mechanisms or installations (Hou, Wang, and Truijens 2015), performing 172 maintenance and repair (Henderson and Feiner 2007), providing visualization of underground 173 infrastructures (Schall, Zollmann, and Reitmayr 2013), improving safety in construction (Li et There is also commercial software like Augment, designed to show 3D models or media (e.g. 180 buildings, structures or facilities) with which the users can interact.…”

14Augmented Reality (AR) is a trending technology that provides a live view of the real and 15 physical environment augmented by virtual elements, enhancing the information of the scene 16 with digital information (sound, video, graphics, text or geo-location). Its application to 17 architecture, engineering and construction, and facility management (AEC/FM) is 18 straightforward and can be very useful to improve the on-site work at different stages of the 19 projects. However, one of the most important limitations of Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) 20 is the lack of accuracy when the screen overlays the virtual models on the real images captured 21 by the camera. The main reasons are errors related to tracking (positioning and orientation of 22 the mobile device) and image capture and processing (projection and distortion issues). 23 © 2018. This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license http:// creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ This paper shows a new methodology to mathematically perform a quantitative evaluation, in 24 world coordinates, of those overlaying discrepancies on the screen, obtaining the real-scale 25 distances from any real point to the sightlines of its virtual projections for any AR application. 26Additionally, a new utility for filtering built-in sensor signals in mobile devices is presented: 27 the Drift-Vibration-Threshold function (DVT), a straightforward tool to filter the drift suffered 28 by most sensor-based tracking systems. 29 30 Engineering; AEC/FM; Geo-Location; Sensors. 33 34 However, the most sophisticated and up-to-date 3D techniques for designing, modelling and 46 representing construction projects have not been able to substitute definitely paper layouts 47on site yet. Digital devices, such as tablets, smartphones or laptops, are often used on site for 48 illustrating the traditional 2D blueprints that have traditionally been used in projects, usually 49 by means of 2D on-screen pdf or CAD files. Even though mobile computing is a field in 50 evolution, its possibilities are not widely spread in current practices. Human skills (e.g. spatial 51relations, spatial orientation, spatial visualization, etc.) are still required for processing the 2D 52 documents and understanding their meaning in real world, i.e. interpreting classical 2D 53 representations to recognize their 3D implications. These limitations can be overcome by 54 means of adequate technologies, for example the Augmented Reality. 55This paper presents an efficient solution for developing an outdoor application for portable 56 devices, based on Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR), to represent the virtual model of a 57 project in its construction site. As will be explained throughout this work, there are different 58 factors that affect the accuracy and efficiency of this technology, i.e. the geo-location of the 59 mobile device, its orientation, and the techniques for accurately overlaying virtual models 60 (dealing with projection and distortion issues), which motivated the authors to o...
