The central component to the 4D Construction Progress Management
Solution is the Sphere Viewer, which leverages a combination of
high-end visualization technology, smart navigation, photogrammetry
and artificial intelligence to create a comprehensive virtual
jobsite. Developed by FARO's 360° reality capture and point cloud
technology experts, the new viewer analyzes point clouds and 360°
photos in a unified environment, removing reality capture data
silos and enabling faster analysis.
In addition to the Sphere Viewer, the solution includes:
VideoMode, which uses 360° videos to enable faster and easier site
documentation, ProgressAI, which uses artificial intelligence to
detect and report site progress, as well as a brand-new Robotics
API. The new API allows robotic manufacturers to integrate and
directly import reality captured data from robots straight into the
virtual jobsite. The first robot to leverage the Robotics API will
be Spot from Boston Dynamics.
"The 4D Construction Progress Management Solution will deliver
unmatched insights for our customers," said Patrick Bohle, President, FARO Building
Insights. "Our 4D solution brings together 3D models from different
capture devices and different accuracy levels to ease navigation,
increase user accessibility, and enable unprecedented progress
management with the ability to report, verify and compare all
angles of a project over time."
"Having been involved in the development of the 4D Construction
Progress Management Solution as a long-time engaged customer of
HoloBuilder as well as FARO, I am thrilled to witness this combined
solution come to fruition. For the first time, we can unite speed,
accuracy and analytics capabilities of stationary and mobile 3D
laser scanning as well as 360° photo and video," added Will Plato, Senior VDC Manager at Hensel Phelps,
a leader in general contract and construction work for the
planning, building and management of landmark buildings. "Gone are
the days of static, standalone point cloud and 360° projects."
