The invention of Augmented Reality technology is changing the way electrical contractors design, build, and install electrical systems. AR solutions are allowing electrical engineers and contractors the ability to see 3D objects in a real environment. It enhances simplicity and makes it possible to visualize the objects generated using 3D interactive models, images, animations, and either a wearable AR device such as the Microsoft HoloLens 2 or on iOS / Android devices. The Building Information Model (BIM) is superimposed in a real environment which is an excellent way to test accuracy and install validation which saves time and money.

The power of augmented reality can be used in electrical contracting to provide a better user experience. AR is being extensively used in fields ranging from healthcare, education, engineering to the military. No electrical engineering and construction firms can utilize AR for better designing and building of complex electrical infrastructures for analyzing, debugging, and developing prefab units.

VisualLive apps allow you to push your BIM into Augmented Reality including live on-site in collaboration with live streaming capabilities. VisualLive includes Revit and Navisworks plugins and works on Sketchup, Procore, and BIM 360 applications. All apps work on Microsoft HoloLens 2 and iOS / Android mobile devices. The development of integrated and advanced plugins allows the quick conversion of large-sized BIM models to devices keeping its original information like geometries, textures, and materials as in a full 1:1 scale.

Augmented Reality for Electrical plans and routes are verified in the field to ensure the accuracy of connections. Physical clashes can be prevented through conduit run routing and proper installations can be done, thus preventing faulty installations. Through the use of HoloLive or MobiLive, field issues can be quickly identified and corrected saves time and money.

Through VisualLive Mixed Reality technology, end-users can inspect cabling virtually, to ensure that clearances are maintained.

With AR the client can be assured of the deliverables with feasibility and the exact output of their requirement that they can experience in real-time.
