3 Technological Advances Changing the Future of Construction
The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed. Many contractors have taken steps to adopt some of the simpler technologies aimed at improving efficiency, productivity, and safety. However, due to a variety of reasons ranging from return on investment to applicability as well as pure traditional culture barriers, few have delved into the more advanced technologies that may seem too futuristic or nebulous. Some contractors are still grappling with the use cases, practicality, and scalability to achieve full adoption.
This course explores emerging technology in the construction industry, specifically augmentative reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and robotics, and their use cases through specific real-life scenarios employed by three top contractors to paint a picture of the future of technology as business-as-usual for the construction industry.
After this course, you will be able to identify the uses and challenges related to using the following technologies in construction:
- Augmented Reality
- Virtual Reality
- Robotics
