Mixed Reality / Augmented Reality
(OP)
I had an interesting conversation with a colleague about MR/AR and it's impending role in engineering/construction.
Based on this Youtube video, he claimed that within 5 years, we'd all be walking around job sites with MR goggles on all the time...while I personally think that's a bit fantastic, I can't dispute the fact that the potential is there (in my mind, it will be a sales tool first, most likely). As dependent as many industries are on 3D models now, I can see MR/AR being valuable once the technology matures.

I will watch the video when I get home tonight.
One big problem with 3D models is that people, for whatever reason, find it too much work to complete them. As you move through your simulated 3d space, critical details will be missing.
I am a mechie on SolidWorks. I have worked on models with thousands of components. This puts a strain on your computer and your CAD network. I am trying to imagine how much detail is required for you to simulate a building.
