'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.
