What is vGIS used for?
vGIS stands for Virtual Geographic Information System. It's a software platform designed specifically for the AEC industry that uses augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) to bridge the gap between traditional 2D/3D data and the real-world construction site. Here's a breakdown of its key functionalities:
Data Aggregation and Visualization:
vGIS can ingest data from various sources, including BIM models, GIS information (geographic data), and reality capture scans (from 3D laser scanners). It then converts this data into high-fidelity 3D visuals that can be overlaid onto the real world through a mobile device or headset.
High-Accuracy AR Overlays:
vGIS boasts centimeter-level accuracy for its AR overlays, even without relying on external GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) devices. This allows users to precisely visualize building components, utilities, or design elements in their exact location on-site.
Improved Fieldwork Efficiency:
With vGIS, construction workers and engineers can see crucial project data directly in the field. This allows for tasks like quality control checks, utility location verification, design validation, and improved spatial understanding of the project, leading to better decision making and fewer errors.
Collaboration and Communication:
vGIS facilitates communication between on-site teams and remote collaborators. Users can share holographic information, video, and audio annotations, improving project transparency and streamlining workflows.
