C2B: AUGMENTED REALITY ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITE
Léon van Berlo · 2009
This paper describes the development of a system that brings augmented reality at the construction site. Due to the growing complexity of buildings, the growing number of actors on the construction site, and the increasing time pressure to construct a building it keeps getting harder to gain a clear overview of the work in progress. This leads to high costs due to construction failures and even security risks of the building and on the construction site. To cope with these problems it is necessary to develop a tool that helps construction workers to rapidly gain inside in the (intended) construction and construction site. The C2B (pronounced 'see to be') system combines the real world with the virtual design giving a mixed reality (augmented reality) view at the construction site. The C2B system combines technology from different industries to help the construction industry. This paper describes the development of a prototype of this system.
