Augmented reality (AR) and its cousin, virtual reality (VR) have penetrated pre-construction visualization, presentations to project owners and the training of operating engineers in simulated environments. But AR and its close kin mixed reality shines is in its ability to combine the physical world with the digital world so workers in the field can compare the reality of the construction site to a digital model during the work-in-progress phase.
