In this interactive session, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and its significant role in modern construction and engineering. You will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge 3D technology, including augmented reality (AR) using the HoloLens and virtual reality (VR) with the Quest 3. Together, we will explore the application of 3D point clouds and demonstrate how to collect a point cloud as part of VDC data analysis. 

By the end of this session, you will understand the basic principles of Virtual Design and Construction and experience firsthand the transformative use of AR and VR in the construction industry. You will also explore how 3D point clouds are utilized for precision and accuracy in construction projects and witness a live demonstration of room scanning, showcasing its practical applications in VDC. 

Registration is required.
