“I don’t think we’re close to the finish line yet. I think
there’s a lot more coming in terms of being able to represent
a building more accurately earlier on so that more can be
decided early. And installation is much easier and training
is easier when it comes to dealing with the physical side of
things,” he said.
Toppel wholeheartedly concurs.
“It hasn’t even started. AR and VR are not even close to
being mainstream yet. We haven’t even come close yet to
breaking in. It was only 10 years ago people started using
BIM. Now it’s everywhere. In terms of where we’re at with AR,
we’re really just beginning.”
