CHICAGO, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Engineering
services company VIATechnik, has yet again set a new bar in the
advancement of Virtual Design & Construction and Building
Information Modeling (BIM). Until recently, being able to
experience a construction project virtually meant being able to
view a building through static 3D renderings or models, with
limited interactivity. The forward thinking engineers at VIATechnik
have taken things a step further with the incorporation of gaming
technology into their models, creating an interactive experience
for their clients.
The benefits of this technology in the Virtual Design and
Construction industry are considerable. The service expands beyond
just virtual reality for architecture projects to also encompass
logistics planning. COO of VIATechnik, Anton Dy Buncio states, "Our engineers can
create a virtual environment to help a client interact with a
project. The difference with this and something like Revit lies in
ability to create a UI where the client, with no modeling
experience, can easily make changes to the model and interact with
our work. For example, in a power plant project that we are working
on, our client is able to manipulate multiple logistics plans and
evaluate various logistical challenges quickly."
With the use of the gaming technology, stationary 3D models can
be turned into virtual environments before construction ever hits
the ground. Being able to interact with your project from its
initial BIM, is certainly a time and cost-saving benefit. Decisions
on changes to the project can be made quickly and more efficiently.
The crossover of gaming technology and construction is definitely
an interesting coupling, but it's certainly one that's undeniable
and an indicator towards the future in BIM.
