The Future for the Subsurface Utility Industry is AR
Presenter: Matthew Wolf, President – ImpulseRadar
The adoption of Augmented Reality in the utility industry is evolving on multiple fronts. The capacity to transpose digital data of buried assets into visualizations in the field on a mobile or other device adds tremendous value from both a safety and design/project management perspective. It is important that a quality level also be ascribed to this information so that there is no confusion as to the level of certainty of the AR visualization. As it is with any printed or digital drawing the information is only as good as its certainty. The future is AR and this tech will redefine the subsurface utility industry for all stakeholders.
