Open Source Immersive BIM Environment

TeamJames Ross, Daniel Comeaux

• M.S. Computer Science students

Sample Projects

Immersive BIM Objective

• To give the user a realistic experience in a virtual environment.

• Create ability 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 Milestones

Immersive BIM Milestones

1.) Successfully incorporate a simple model into the virtual reality environment

2.) Interact with the model by opening doors and clicking on the walls for their information

3.) Integrate the VR Goggles into the VR environment and be able to move through it.

4.) Display the information about the exterior and interior walls as a hud.

5.)Fully import a BIM wall into the environment as well as the information about it.

6.) Import an actual BIM into the virtual environment and have ability to examine components of model for information.

Immersive BIM Tools Needed

• Screens and glasses

• Open Source VR

• Technology

Potential Benefits of Immersive BIM

• Virtually exploring a BIM• Having the ability to interact with a

BIM• Will lead to more projects in BIM

Exp. RFID providing filtered BIM information for soldiers

Visual Confirmation of BIM accuracy

• Will help us continue in our efforts in receiving a Phd in Computational Science

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 Project Modeling & Animation Modeling & 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


• 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.


• 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


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.


• 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


Objectives

• Allow engineers world-wide to include walk-through and annotate VR BIM models in regular teleconferences


• 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

Interactive 5D BIM

• Lewis Jones• Currently PHD student in Computer

Science
