The Future of Reality Capture & AI in Design

NeoCon Presentation Description: Reality capture technology is reshaping how the AEC industry plans, executes, and delivers projects. This technology gives you the ability to capture exact site conditions and eliminate guesswork from the start. In this course, you'll explore the fundamentals of reality capture, including 3D laser scanning and advanced techniques like SLAM and LiDAR, and learn how these tools integrate seamlessly with BIM to improve collaboration and reduce costly errors. We'll also dive into how architects are using AI to accelerate design tasks and streamline project management. Beyond-line-of-sight scanning takes this even further by revealing hidden utilities and concrete reinforcement to improve safety and planning accuracy. Combined with lean principles, these innovations help you to reduce waste, rework, and support sustainability goals. By the end of this course, youa??ll have the knowledge to deliver projects with confidence and stay ahead of industry trends.
