    Extended Reality (XR) for the Construction Industry


    Discover how assisted reality technology can empower staff and save valuable time and money

    Conquer production stoppages

    Improve health and safety


    The problem


    Site managers need to conduct effective health and safety inspections to meet regulations and safeguard staff. However, the very presence of an on-site inspector causes problems. Aware they're being watched, workers become actors. They cease their usual working patterns and start second guessing what the inspector wants to see.


    Remote inspections, while possible, rely on bulky equipment that can't be safely wielded where it's most needed – in the hands of those doing the work.

    The solution


    Let inspectors see what your workers see. Harness the power of assisted reality and make remote inspections simpler, safer and more interactive.


    Workers wear lightweight headsets that empower them to work naturally, without distractions. Inspectors enjoy high-quality, POV video feeds, allowing them to monitor working practices and deliver advice and mentoring in real time.

    'See what I see'

    Identify issues as they happen with low-latency POV video feeds.

    Cost savings

    Eliminate communication barriers with real-time voice chat.

    Empower

    Empower staff with hands-free headsets that feel natural and easy to wear.

    Connectivity

    Connect site and desk – inspectors can access video feeds from any web-enabled device.

    Deliver better, more efficient training

    Streamline training and mentoring


    The problem


    Training takes heaps of time and energy. For learning to be effective, workers need constant on-site feedback and unhindered communication with experienced staff.


    However, your experts can't be everywhere, all of the time. In reality, training often means correcting mistakes after they happen. And by that point, the damage has already been done.

    The solution


    Help your experts be anywhere they need to be. Use assisted reality glasses for construction training and transform the mentoring process into a seamless two-way conversation.


    Trainees can seek help at the touch of a button, while mentors can monitor their work in real time with high-quality POV video. And because experts can tune in from any location, they can assist multiple staff – or even multiple sites – at the same time.

    Innovative training

    Make training more effective with instant voice and video communication.

    Staff empowerment

    Encourage better working practices by empowering staff to seek help instantly.

    Cost saving

    Save time and money by delivering training from desk to site.

    Safety conscious

    Maintain safety standards with distraction-free headset technology.

    Create virtual showroom experiences

    Connect global teams


    The problem


    Sometimes there's no option but to seek specialist help. But flying experts to the frontline wastes valuable time and resources. Today, construction is a global concern, but that doesn't fix the fact that long-distance travel is expensive – and it's not getting any cheaper.

    The solution


    Ditch the travel costs altogether. Let specialists conduct close-up, intricate inspections from just about any location on Earth.


    Your on-site engineer can simply slip on a headset and enjoy detailed guidance from an expert via remote voice and video link. Plus, with intuitive collaboration tools, you can pinpoint problems and find solutions in record time.

    Budget boost

    Boost your budget – eliminate hefty travel and accommodation costs.

    Transformation

    Transform specialist technical support into an on-demand resource.

    Collaboration

    Collaborate like never before – experts can annotate and comment on real-time video.

    Specialist help - from anywhere

    Low-latency technology lets specialists enjoy an "on-site experience" from any location.
