AR has arrived?
Just a quick follow up from Ali’s blog below regarding the use of Augmented Reality (AR). Looks like 170Gp are already pushing the technology with the ‘powers that be’. A couple of pics from Comd 8X’s recent visit to 63Wks Gp, where he was able to take a tour of Project ANEMOI through AR goggles. AR has been developed during 170Gp’s Innovation and Experimentation trials.

Thanks for the post Glynn; very timely as we start to discuss Engineer Drawing requirements for the PET Cse.
Thanks Glynn,
I was, perhaps being a little disingenuous when I said that the RE have no appetite. I have a copy of the 3D .pdf document on my machine here having encouraged and colluded with Matt for some time. It is very good and I think made an impression.
Truth is it is being delivered under the Anemoi cloak dressed up as means of gathering as built data and providing Heath and Safety files. The very sad truth is that they ha to train each member of the team in the delivery train on new equipment and software to give them the skill set to deliver. This included 3D point cloud scanners for surveying and Autodesk Revit for rendering and producing the model.
The replacement survey equipment presently going through procurement will not have this capability and works on an antiquated software suite. The draughtsmen here get taught line drawing in AutoCAD not object oriented assembly in Revit. We are trying to get the PET course onto Revit, Infraworks and Robot. It is a project that requires personal drive and commitment to make progress against the flow rather than a supported innovation. We will get there, but it really shouldn’t have to be this hard.
