XR For Engineering Design Reviews

Live Webinar - How XR Revolutionizes Engineering Design Reviews “Coordinating design reviews with multiple parties and colleagues is a complicated and messy endeavor. Particularly difficult is collaborating and presenting iterations to clients who lack the knowledge or training to read 2D schematics effectively. By using XR, you can bring stakeholders inside Revit and Navisworks BIM models inside a collaborative VR environment. This immersive collaborative workspace makes the review process simpler and more effective, reducing the risk of concepts being lost in translation—and cutting down on costly errors at the same time.” Read more →
