Students and Projects Daniel, James & Corey – Immersive BIM Lacey Duckworth – BIM and Code Compliance Cara Percey – BIM and Construction Management Isaiah Williams – BIM and Tele-Engineering
Open Source Immersive BIM Environment Team James Ross, Daniel Comeaux M.S. Computer Science students Sample Projects
Immersive BIM Objective user a realistic experience in a virtual environment. they will be able to interact with BIM objects in the environment as well a pull up information about the object being touched. Pictures – mockups – other examples
Immersive BIM Approach Screens and glasses Open Source VR Technology
Potential Benefits of Immersive BIM Write stuff here – faster and more accurate virtual design
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM at Engineering Research Development Centers Cara Percy Bs. Architectural Engineering Technology Current Masters Student, Construction Management Sample Work Capstone ProjectModeling & Animation
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM Curriculum to help ERDC’s roll-out the wider use of BIM Focusing on the implementation in Construction Management Time Management Cost Management Quality Management Safety Management
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM Manual Workshops At regional meetings Webpage
Potential Benefits of Implementation of BIM in Construction Management Reduce Time Fewer RFI’s Field Coordination Reduce Cost Increase Return Productivity Improvement Improve Quality Control Improved accuracy Overall Increased Clarity
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Cory Berry Currently Masters student in Computer Science Sample Projects
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Help soldiers retrieve BIM information “on-the- fly” through Heads Up Displays [HUD] Use RFID and Soldier’s heading to calculate position in the building Retrieve information with voice or eye movement commands.
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Approach RFID proximity inside building
Potential Benefits of Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Advanced Battlefield knowledge and command Future warfighter
Virtual BIM Code Compliance Lacey Duckworth Currently PHD student in Computer Science Sample Projects
Virtual BIM Code Compliance Objectives Tool to compare BIM models against standard code specifications Lists problems found Virtual walk-through of BIM models with pop- ups of properties and relevant codes.
Virtual BIM Code Compliance Approach Import BIM models into VR Object Oriented external compliance engine Create pop-up and compliance list in VR
Potential Benefits of Virtual BIM Code Compliance Better code compliance in advance of construction Saved money through fewer errors
BIM Tele-Engineering Isaiah Williams Currently Master’s student in Computer Science Sample Projects
BIM Tele-Engineering Objectives Allow engineers world-wide to include walk- through and annotate VR BIM models in regular teleconferences
BIM Tele-Engineering Approach Survey and understand current ACE teleconference methodology Add functionality to allow BIM models to be loaded, viewed and changed in teleconference
Potential Benefits of BIM Tele-Engineering Less travel
