Harnessing XR to Enable Effective Design Decisions
Gain the knowledge and tools to harness XR technologies—VR, AR, and MR—for transformative impact across AEC workflows, from concept to construction and beyond.
About the live course
Extended reality (XR)—encompassing virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)—is reshaping the future of architecture, engineering, and construction. This course offers an in-depth look at XR technologies, their relevance to AEC workflows, and their intersection with complementary emerging technologies like reality capture, digital twins, and AI. Discover current and emerging use cases, learn how to evaluate hardware and software options, and build a roadmap for successful XR adoption. Whether you're just exploring or ready to deploy XR at scale, this course provides the essential knowledge to lead your firm into the future.
- Differentiate between VR, AR, MR, and the broader concept of the metaverse as they apply to AEC.
- Evaluate the benefits, challenges, and applicability of XR technologies in design, construction, and operations.
- Identify key hardware and software tools commonly used in XR deployments for AEC.
- Connect XR solutions to other emerging technologies like reality capture, digital twins, AI, and robotics.
- Develop a structured approach to XR adoption, from needs assessment through pilot programs and scaled implementation.
