Following the announcement on the partnership between two tech companies, the development of Augmented Reality in the sector of construction has taken a step forward. MGISS based in the UK and vGIS based in Canada is officially joining forces to transform GIS, BIM, and CAD data into Augmented Reality visualizations. The transformation of Augmented Reality data should bring positive changes and improvements in the general management of hidden infrastructure assets.

Augmented Reality Data Transforming with Two Tech Firms
Based in the United Kingdom, geospatial specialist MGISS and Canada-based vGIS entered an official partnership that should directly lead to the development of Augmented Reality data. the two companies are aiming to transform traditional BIM, CAD, and GIS data used in construction processes to transform the way hidden infrastructure assets are managed. The data should be transformed into AR visualizations, which should contribute to general efficiency in the process of construction.
Augmented Reality and Interactive Experience in Construction
With Augmented Reality, construction companies can use the interactive experience to display real-life objects and enhance them with an additional layer of intelligence. MGISS recognized the demand for improved spatial data quality along with the need to facilitate communication through 3D environments that are complex and asset dense. Authoritative survey-grade positions in combination with associated data with consumer-grade hardware allow MGISS to provide vGIS users with access to augmented reality across all smart devices.
More Efficiency for Field Personnel with AR
The vGIS system enables field personnel to access the augmented reality environment, enabling view that includes holographic infrastructure objects. Personnel can also use this augmented reality data and visualizations to increase situational awareness and improve environmental assessments. The industry is facing a great number of challenges where some of the top requirements are improving safety and reducing risks. As an advanced platform, vGIS provides a great range of 3D spatial data capabilities.
