Interaction of building information modeling technologies with virtual and augmented reality capabilities
In the design and construction the role of the building information model (hereinafter BIM) is important, avoiding collisions of complex and large engineering project, thanks to threedimensional modeling. Since the presence of BIM is already recognized at the state level, now almost every participant of investment and construction activities requires if not a full automated project on all BIM technologies, then at least a full 3D model that displays all the elements, objects, their dimensions and visual component. With the constant development of new technologies, happens their introduction and application in all technological and organizational-economic processes of design and construction. The creation of digital assets on the basis of BIM, gives the opportunity to go to a new stage of work and interaction with the information model, through virtual and augmented reality technologies (hereinafter VR/AR). Such visual digitization technologies should not be overlooked; rather, their role should be integrated, if not integrated, into at least most design and construction processes. In addition to the main advantages of using virtual reality, in particular, reducing design errors, accelerating the process of agreement on complex objects, the ability to discuss and see BIM project on scale 1:1, being fully immersed in the construction project not yet built, so it still makes it possible to create simulators aimed at training personnel diagnostic, repair and other work. In this way, the article studies the basic principles of information modeling, which lead to opportunities for improving the technological processes of the construction industry, due to the introduction of BIM software platforms into the work, the latest technologies of virtual and augmented reality. The article considers software complexes, due to which joint work of VR/AR programs with BIM design products, and also conducts analysis on the example of a pair of products about the complexity of such interaction.
