Light House Project #13: Mixed Reality Carpentry Demonstration
This project harnesses Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to enhance prefabricated component assembly in carpentry and construction. By integrating AR/VR tools like Twinbuild by Fologram, the project aims to improve training and upskilling process, assembly instructions, spatial awareness, quality control, and collaboration. A real-time assembly of a complex timber pavilion at the Building 4.0 CRC Annual Conference will showcase these technologies’ efficacy in addressing construction challenges.
Project leads: Dr Sahar Soltani, Dr Duncan Maxwell
Researchers: Lisa Giusti Gestri, Darcy Zelenko
