BIM model fly-throughs are great, but it’s not the same as physically being present at a job site. From Episode 205 | The Art and Science of Commissioning a Building featuring Jeffrey Michael, P.E. and Darren Draper, PE, CxA Listen to the full episode here, https://lnkd.in/epyF9RvJ
This is a tough one when designers have competing tasks versus budgets versus short deadlines. I have heard so many times 'Don't over detail the model because the budget or the schedule doesn't support it." But if you don't detail the model to the 9th degree then how can you say to the owner and contractor with any confidence that you have a tight design with very little issues. Your reputation is at stake.
Tend to agree with this commentary more than disagree, Some with say Augmented or Virtual reality is here, That does not always mean it is a REALITY. The cost, training, comfort, etc. is a hurdle that will need to be overcome to exceed actually being onsite and seeing things with ones own eyes.

Obviously never tried VR of course you can look at it from first person perspective!! Check out my videos of how AEC VR works.
We've built Imerso precisely to solve this and bridge that distance. Check it out! Hope that helps 💪
If looking through a monitor, yeah i can agree but with the current achievement in VR and AR i guess its different story

What about Digital Twins? 😮
Implementing DaaS - Data As A Service for CAD and BIM
1moI'll dare to disagree - it sounds like modern Luddites ideas. You need to feel the wool, you need to touch it, you need to see the wool etc. Progress goes this way. Of course there will remain some pieces of art, like "hand-made" things we buy in addition to manufactured on a conveyor. But "hand-made" will be a minority. If you can inspect something with VR quicker and in more details - that's cool. That should become a common practice. Probably things like this will improve the poor efficiency of AEC.
