Situationsbezogener Einsatz von Technologien der erweiterten Realität bei Stahl-Glas-Konstruktionen

Situation-based use of extended reality technologies for steel-glass structures – a report from the DigitalTWIN research project. Planning, construction and operation are characterized by coordination, evaluation and decision-making processes, for which model data, visualizations and simulations provide essential support. The DigitalTWIN research project therefore focuses on the use of extended reality/XR services as an essential visualization path for future work processes. End-to-end data processing is an essential prerequisite in order to combine object, process and tool data in a coordinated manner is an essential prerequisite. The systematic use of building information modeling (BIM) and the application of agile project management methods are the base for this. Based on open platform technologies fast and task-specific services were developed in order to efficiently adapt and optimize software interfaces between individual modules. New wireless technologies for low-latency networking and the issue of broadband expansion on the construction site were also investigated, as state-of-the-art visualization and interaction technologies increase the demands on broadband infrastructure. The article introduces the possibilities of XR services in construction and then shows the developed scenarios for steel-glass constructions. Finally, the combinability of the software modules for specific application scenarios is shown and an outlook is given on how Industrial Internet of Things and augmented reality technologies can be linked.
