PETALING JAYA: The company that is building tunnels for the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) system has developed an award-winning app that is set to cement its position as one of the pioneers of augmented reality in engineering.
The app, known as BIMAR, produces virtual 3D overlays of design and construction elements which are overlaid on real-time screen camera captures of the worksite.
In doing so, it allows clashes or errors to be spotted instantly, preventing costly reworking.
The company said BIMAR offers insight and precision, unlike other conventional methods which rely on photos, drawings, laser scan point clouds, and hardcopy documents for construction validation.
