Abstract:

Artificial Reality (AR) in a new computer interface technology which is expected to have a major impact on A/E/C firms. The system works as an interactive animation system which allows advance simulation modeling in 3-d.Artificial Reality is a display and control technology that can surround a person in an interactive computer-generated environment. The objective is to put user into a non-existent, or virtual, world and let him interact with that world much as he would with the real world. The objectives of this paper are: 1) To describe artificial reality, and 2) Present its application in: Construction, architectural engineering, training and education, telepresence and telerobotics, construction planning and scheduling, information management, and telecommunication. The goal is to provide new ideas for testing application of robotics in various construction activities without having to set up expensive physical testing facilities. With more and more competitive emphasis on reducing the design/construction cost of prototype robots, at the same time, also improve constructability, technology such as AR will be viewed as a tool for productivity improvement.
