Many states designated construction as an essential service at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. During the peak of the outbreaks, the construction industry helped expand existing healthcare facilities and building temporary hospitals.

However, after medical facilities all over the world were expanded, built new or adapted to suit the influx of patients, many communities halted construction and instituted strict physical distancing requirements—hurting architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms. Limits placed on how many workers can gather at a job site vary, but these physical distancing directives can be overcome with augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) technology.

AR and VR can transport key people to any job site, opening up the site and allowing more people to be on-site virtually, without requiring travel or risky physical interaction.

In this research report, you will learn:

• What is virtual reality and augmented reality?
• How AR and VR can be used in the architecture, engineering and construction industry
• Types of AR/VR software and hardware and how to choose the right one for your application
• Tips for calculating the costs and ROI of investment in AR and VR
