News on Augmented Reality for construction!

Released on September 27, 2021, this new version of GenieGate – our web portal – is filled with exciting things!

• Connection to Autodesk BIM360 & Construction Cloud (ACC)
• Customisation of model slicing
• Optimisation of model processing

New features bringing the field closer to 3D!

Let’s get into the details.

Discover the construction technology to watch in 2022 and beyond!

How next-level BIM on-site will raise the productivity stakes?

One construction project typically:

• takes 20% longer to finish than sheduled
• Allocates 80% of the total budget to execution and maintenance, where BIM is weakest
• ramps up to 75% of the total cost during the execution phase

Which leaves many companies wondering: how to source, find, and use the right technology to solve construction’s industry challenges?

GenieVision focuses on the reduction of failure costs for construction compagnies using BIM

GenieVision, as a software company, has made a new tool that takes advantage of advanced mobile technologies to bring the 3D construction models to smartphones.

For years architects, designers and engineers have been working with 3D models of large and complex buildings on computers from remote office facilities – which are sometimes far from the job site. Yet, these models never made it into the hands of the workers actually working on the building. Most of the time they still use outdated 2D paper plans. This means that management needs to make trips to the job site whenever they run into errors or mistakes, to verify plans against reality, a process that is inefficient and costly.

Construction project coordination, what can Augmented Reality do for it?

Bring the 3D on-site and feel the BIM!

Coordination is the key word in any construction project! Visualising, understanding and sharing open up a new world of possibilities.

Going from 2D plans to 3D plans

Philippe presents the Augmented Reality activity for the on-site quality management and shares his vision for the construction industry.

As a result of the last technology trend from the IDC 2021, Tablets are a common device, and closed in on personal computers in terms of functionalities, 2020 has about 20% sales – 52 millions units.

Apple leads with 36% market shares, Samsung 19%, Lenovo almost 6%, then behind Amazon, Huawei and some others.

Today there are almost no new features, but tablets are still evolving, they have more power, better sensors, and last but not least: LiDAR.

GenieVision emerged from the AGC Start Up Bootcamp, an innovation scheme launched by AGC Glass Europe in early 2018 to promote the development of new, radically different ideas and foster an entrepreneurial spirit. Of the 15 ideas that were pitched, six – including GenieVision – made it through to the next stage, a coaching programme.

The process behind it was simple: bring each idea to maturity, come up with a value proposition and devise a sound business plan to win over investors.

GenieVision rose to the challenge and secured AGC’s support. Now, the young start-up is ready to find its first customers!

Augmented reality is not new, but its maturity level has increased a lot the past couple of years. So much so that it can be used by anyone that has a smartphone.
