Canada's construction news
COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO — A new system developed by engineers at the University of Waterloo uses augmented reality and virtual reality to help extend the lifespan of Canada’s critical infrastructure. Called the Smart Infrastructure Metaverse, it enables inspectors who are onsite and others who are off-site to use the technology to view a real structure.
“We’re using AR/VR headsets to give them a shared view so they can see exactly where they are and what they’re looking at during the inspection, no matter where they’re located.” However, the new system produces more rapid, comprehensive and complete results than traditional onsite visual examinations and a more complete context for structural issues. Advances in computer vision and AI will enable the inspectors to automatically assess the condition of structures from the data captured using optical sensors.
The technology allows for a more robust inspection when dealing with challenging environmental conditions or unforeseen defect types.
