Open Source Immersive BIM EnvironmentTeam
James Ross, Daniel Comeaux
• M.S. Computer Science students
Sample Projects
Immersive BIM Objective• To give the user a realistic experience
in a virtual environment. • Create ability to interact with BIM
objects in the environment as well a pull up information about the object being touched.
• Pictures – mockups – other examples
Immersive BIM Project Overview
Immersive BIM Milestones1.) Successfully incorporate a simple model into the virtual reality environment2.) Interact with the model by opening doors and clicking on the walls for their information3.) Integrate the VR Goggles into the VR environment and be able to move through it.4.) Display the information about the exterior and interior walls as a hud.5.)Fully import a BIM wall into the environment as well as the information about it.6.) Import an actual BIM into the virtual environment and have ability to examine components of model for information.
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM at
Engineering Research Development Centers
• Cara Percy Bs. Architectural Engineering Technology Current Masters Student, Construction
Management • Sample Work
Capstone Project Modeling & Animation Modeling & Animation
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM
• Curriculum to help ERDC’s roll-out the wider use of BIM Focusing on the implementation in
Construction Management
Time Management
Cost Management
Quality Management
Safety Management
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM
• Manual • Workshops
At regional meetings• Webpage
Potential Benefits of Implementation of BIM in Construction Management
• Reduce Time Fewer RFI’s Field Coordination
• Reduce Cost Increase Return Productivity Improvement
• Improve Quality Control Improved accuracy
• Overall Increased Clarity
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield
• Corey Berry• B.S. in Computer Science with Minor in
Software Engineering• Sample Project History
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield
Corey Berry
• Help soldiers retrieve BIM information “on-the-fly” through Heads Up Displays [HUD]
• Use RFID and Soldier’s heading to calculate position in the building
• Retrieve information with voice or eye movement commands.
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield
When within 30 feet of a building the soldier will receive a signal from the RFID chip on the exterior of the building.
The signal will contain an encrypted key which will allow BIM data to be retrieved.
Potential Benefits of Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield
• Advanced Battlefield knowledge and command
• Implementation into Future war-fighter project.
Virtual BIM Code Compliance
• Lacey Duckworth• Currently PHD student in Computer
Science
• Sample Projects
Virtual BIM Code ComplianceObjectives
• Tool to compare BIM models against standard code specifications
• Lists problems found
• Virtual walk-through of BIM models with pop-ups of properties and relevant codes.
Virtual BIM Code Compliance• Approach
Import BIM models into VR
Object Oriented external compliance engine
Create pop-up and compliance list in VR
Potential Benefits of Virtual BIM Code Compliance
• Better code compliance in advance of construction
• Saved money through fewer errors
BIM Tele-Engineering
• Isaiah Williams• Currently Master’s student in
Computer Science
• Sample Project• Open Source Building Environment
for Simulation and Traininghttp://www.icee.usm.edu/osbest/
BIM Tele-Engineering
BIM Tele-EngineeringObjectives
• Allow engineers world-wide to include walk-through and annotate virtual reality BIM models in regular teleconferences
BIM Tele-Engineering• Approach
Survey and understand current ACE teleconference methodology
Add functionality to allow BIM models to be loaded, viewed and changed in teleconference
Potential Benefits of BIM Tele-Engineering
• Models built in virtual reality for use in other projects
• Less travel• Saving money
5D BIM Visual Composer
• Lewis Jones• Currently PHD student in Computer
Science
• Sample Projects
5D BIM Visual Composer Objective
• Tool to use 5D models for promotional and educational videos
• Plug-in to import 5D Model Sequences (with underlying data) into Open Source Movie Editor software
• Plug-in to provide BIM-specific movie editing capabilities (such as information pop-up and component highlighting)
• Case study showing use of the new tool
5D BIM Visual Composer Approach
• Phase 1 - Plug-in to import 5D Model Sequences (with underlying data) into Open Source Movie Editor software
• Phase 2 - Plug-in to provide BIM-specific movie editing capabilities (such as information pop-up and component highlighting)
• Phase 3 - Case study demonstrating use of the new tool
Potential Benefits of 5D BIM Visual Composer
• Additional educational and promotional benefits from 5D models
• Better understanding and wider acceptance of BIM techniques
