In this episode of our Smarter Building podcast, we caught up with Dan Bambridge, Senior Client Partner - Digital Twins EMEA at Unity 3D. Discover how the Construction industry is embracing real-time 3D technology to change the way buildings are designed, created, and operated, and what more can be done to realise this.
Unity is a leading game engine and development platform used to create real-time interactive and visually captivating experiences across multiple platforms including desktop, mobile devices, consoles, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices.
Now being adopted by the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) industries to make use of their data and understand how they can get more out of it with these technologies. Tune into this episode to hear Dan discuss the different types of use cases, including how digital twins can be used to simulate the performance of a building in real time, as well as some of the challenges that the industry is facing in terms of adopting real-time 3D technology.
"I think there needs to be more of a focus on what can this technology do for us. Rather than lets see what's already out there and try and make it work for us to pigeonhole it into an area that's not really going to work."
