Using Augmented Reality in a Multiscreen Environment for Construction Discussion

Abstract

Discussion is critical in identifying, predicting, and resolving potential problems in the field of construction. This process relies heavily on oral communication with the assistance of construction drawings, schedules, and other related documents. Because most construction projects include multiple working phases and involve multiple parties, it is difficult for participants to clearly grasp the whole picture of a construction site and to make accurate predictions about future activities. In this research, the authors proposed a visualized environment to facilitate the discussion process. It includes a stationary display called
