With the focus on sustainable living and smart housings of the future, real-time 3D modeling is expected to play an instrumental role in designing and reimagining the contours of construction.
The construction industry is on the cusp of a disruption. As projects get larger and complex, the growing stress on environment sensitivity has also seen a demand for sustainable construction. Coupled with this, shortage of skilled labor and introduction of automated machines mean there is an urgent need for new ways of thinking and working.
And thinking it is. The rise of the great computer power in a world where the real and virtual worlds are often colliding, and merging, are changing the way the world’s infrastructure is designed and made.
GEOSPATIAL WORLD READERS’ SURVEY
Digital transformation has made geospatial an indispensable part of our lives. But the question we often ponder upon is what’s the next thing to do to make spatial context more relevant? Take our Readers Survey to help us capture the true essence of future trends. It’s in an easy multiple choice format. We promise it won’t become a cumbersome task for you.

Real-time 3D modeling is the hottest trend in the construction and allied sectors. It is the latest in a series of high-end technologies that are transforming the construction sector.
What is real-time 3D modeling?
Real-time 3D modeling has a host of benefits over conventional CAD or BIM 3D. While the latter is about creating a digital model of an asset before it is built, the former is all about creating a digital model of an asset or an environment that is already built in real time using a combination of LiDAR, photogrammetry and other emerging technologies.
“3D modeling for buildings or infrastructure projects employs an intermediate digital representation using any number of reality capture techniques and technologies such as LiDAR and drone photogrammetry. The digital representation represents a snapshot in time of the project site for highly accurate, contextual, and rich visualization,” says Michael Mizuno, Senior Product Manager, Reality Solutions, Autodesk.
“Recent advances in digital photography and photogrammetric processing, Cloud-based computing, and high-speed scanning have combined to enable the development of cost-effective 3D models,” points out Mark Nichols, General Manager, Trimble Navigation.
Low cost per measurement, capability of surveying a large area quickly and at high resolution, and with just one survey extracting data multiple times, are some of the main advantages of 3D modeling. Combination of high-quality imagery with the model helps in easy understanding of the situation and requires less complex interpretation than paper or 2D models.
Real-time 3D modeling provides a very fast and cost-effective way of sharing the existing state of an asset with an engineering team so that they can make design, construction or operational decisions using a digital engineering model, explains Phil Christensen, Senior Vice President, Reality Modeling and Cloud Services, Bentley Systems.
