'Visualising Our World' Event By CSIC

Construction Scotland Innovation Centre has announced an event to demonstrate how visualisation technologies can advance the oil & gas and construction industries.

Visualisation technology is developing rapidly. As it evolves the number and range of applications is increasing with greater and greater opportunities being identified to benefit both the oil & gas and construction industries.

The event, on Thursday, 08 November, will outline the current status of visualisation within both industries. It will provide businesses with an overview of how both sectors are collecting and utilising the data from turning images into sophisticated 3D models to promoting better decision making and industry productivity.

It will explore the application of Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality technologies and the next stage of their development as they move from a design tool into the realms of building construction, operation and even training and education.

• Keynote Andy Till, BP.

The event is designed for companies of all sizes from the oil & gas and construction sectors who wish to adopt or improve their visualisation technology capacity with a view to improving their business prospects and leading innovation in their sector. It will also be of interest to technology companies wishing to explore synergies and transfer of knowledge between both industries.

The event will begin at 12:00 when lunch will be served and attendees will be able to spend time in the demo area.

Registration is open now and available here.
