Training on Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for BIM
Course Overview
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are transforming how BIM models are visualized, reviewed, and experienced. Immersive environments improve design understanding, strengthen stakeholder communication, and enhance on-site coordination.
This 5-day course equips AEC professionals with practical skills to integrate VR and AR into BIM workflows. Participants learn how to convert BIM models into immersive VR experiences, apply AR for real-time site coordination, and create interactive presentations that support better decision-making.
The training emphasizes hands-on application, enabling participants to move from static 3D models to dynamic, interactive environments that improve collaboration, reduce errors, and elevate client engagement. By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to implement immersive technologies across design, planning, and construction processes.
