Scanning Realities

In this episode, we discuss the critical role of reality capture throughout a construction project's lifecycle, especially in pre-planning. With Francis Valera, Senior Associate of Virtual Construction at HITT Contracting - a top general contractor in the US - we'll also explore the significant impact of HITT's advanced virtual construction capabilities on attracting and retaining young talent. Li...

This time, we'll be discussing how reality capture powers modern construction management and equips teams with the tools to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects with greater speed and precision. To see how reality capture practice allows to cut down on mistakes and minimize return visits to ever-so-complex project sites, and to accelerate the creation of digital twins, we'll be joined by Sa...

In this episode, we explore how laser scanning technology is blurring the lines between the real and virtual worlds with NVIDIA and we discuss how accurate 3D representations of physical environments allow for digital twins and powerful simulations. By digitalizing the physical world, we can modernize entire industries from their virtual ground zero. To get a feel for the innovation and workflows...
