So, what do reality capture software platforms do, and what are all the problems they solve? Using still image and video cameras as capture devices, like the RICOH THETA X 360-degree camera, a new family of reality capture software platforms sprung up and matured quickly during the pandemic years because AEC firms benefitted so much from their deployment. They found their solution in a new class of digital tools called “reality capture.” Under this condition, AEC professionals, particularly architects, engineers, and senior construction professionals, needed new ways to monitor the job site’s progress.
Now the pandemic has subsided, and travel has resumed, AEC workflows have shifted to being more digitally-minded. AEC professionals were working from home and living with travel restrictions and limited availability of access to the job site itself.
It wasn’t just the difficulty and time required to travel to the job site that was the area of potential efficiency gain. THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC IN 2020 accelerated the need for visual access to the construction site on an entirely different level.
