AR in Construction: Building Smarter Cities with Tech Awareness
AR in Construction: Building Smarter Cities with Tech Awareness
In this episode of AEC Trailblazers, we dive into how Alec Pestov, CEO of vGIS, is revolutionizing the way we think about city construction using AR and Twin Technologies.Alec’s company leverages intuitive AI to optimize large-scale construction processes and streamline project documentation, setting a new standard in the AEC industry. He shares his vision of a future where cities are built and modernized without human hands, transitioning from fully human labor to fully automated construction.
However, like any disruptive technology, AR in construction faces technical challenges. Alec discusses key hurdles such as occlusions—a common issue in AR visualization—and how vGIS is working on lateral solutions to overcome these limitations.The conversation highlights how, much like the iPhone’s breakthrough in personal tech, widespread industry adoption is critical for AR to truly transform construction.
Alec emphasizes that while humans will still control construction processes in the future, they won’t be physically building the cities of tomorrow. For the AEC industry to embrace these advancements effectively, greater tech awareness is essential.This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to explore the future of automated labor and AI-driven construction.
