It took less than 40 years to go from the first PC
to the first iPad

… and just 4 years to go from the first iPad to
Google Glass

You no longer need to choose between a
smartphone and a large screen

2. AUGMENTED REALITY AND WEARABLES TO MAKE BIM AND VDC MORE ACCESSIBLE
![Page 17: Construction Technology Trends - MCAA Tech Conference 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c42639bb61ebc51c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We’ve been communicating 3D
intentions with 2D tools:
Spreadsheets, paper drawings, etc.

3. DRONES & UAV PHOTOGRAPHY ARE GAINING TRACTION
![Page 22: Construction Technology Trends - MCAA Tech Conference 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c42639bb61ebc51c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Site photography is about to become more
important than ever
![Page 23: Construction Technology Trends - MCAA Tech Conference 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c42639bb61ebc51c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Site photography is used in three basic situations:
1. Pre-construction for surveying of terrain, environmental issues, etc.
2. Construction progress photography
3. Maintenance management
The Current State of Site Photography
![Page 24: Construction Technology Trends - MCAA Tech Conference 2015](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c42639bb61ebc51c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Making photography less manual via the use of drones and UAVs
• Using systems to automatically map together series’ of individual photos and match them to a model
• Using these model overlays to identify deviations from the plan or damages
Where Site Photography is Headed
