Use cases
HoloLens used at construction sites
The HoloLens opens a whole new spectrum of opportunities for the construction industry. It facilitates the validation process, allows for more efficiency, and so on. Some pioneer construction companies have already discovered the potential of the HoloLens. Take a look.
Hooyberghs: visualizing holographic BIM models on construction sites
Hooyberghs is a construction company with over 70 simultaneous sites across Belgium. For their projects, they often use BIM standards, a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. They asked us to help them visualize 3D BIM models at the construction site with a HoloLens.
Solutions
Creating new, innovative solutions
The HoloLens allows for closer collaborations, even if you are on the other side of the world. It enables construction workers to make more informed decisions, to train new employees faster than ever, … With HoloLens, the possibilities are endless.
State-of-the-art education and training
The HoloLens is a great asset when training new employees, or when introducing new systems to employees who have been at their job for years. With MS Guides or MS Remote Assist, no custom development is required!
Work remotely: on-site visits from anywhere
Projects require regular on-site visits. However, managing multiple sites at once means losing a lot of time on the road. Moreover, all stakeholders must be available at the same time. What if there’s a better way?
Keep your hands free to do your job
You use gestures, voice or even gaze to interact with the HoloLens. That means you don’t have to use a physical component like a computer mouse or a keyboard. This implicates that your hands remain free to do your job.
Bring BIM Models to life with the HoloLens
With the HoloLens, you can now visualize holographic BIM models on an actual site, automatically aligned to its true location. Needless to say this brings a lot of benefits. Let’s take a look at the most significant ones.
Remote rendering for complex 3D models
To ensure high performance holographic experiences of complex 3D models while using the HoloLens, a traditional approach can mean a loss of important details.
