Listen "A spatial-data utopia in construction. With Andy Evans"
Episode Synopsis
Today, our guest is Andy Evans of Digital Construction Works. We met at a 3D tech conference back in 2011 and spent most of our time talking about the music piped into the conference hall. Andy is a professional land surveyor all about fast, productive, scanning tools and techniques for the digital documentation of construction sites and survey work. He's worked with it all, from full tripod-based lidar scanning, through mobile mapping systems, and now a full catalog of 3D capture solutions. But his goal is much bigger than that: a utopian construction metaverse.Notes:Polycam - Phone-based 3D captureConstruction Verification Initiative - An industry group working to integrate advanced 3D tech into constructionUnity - Game engine used broadly in industrial applicationsBentley Synchro - Infraconstruction management softwareNUAR - British national underground asset registryDigital Construction Works - Group specializing in custom digital solutions for constructionConstruction Metaverse Discord - Contact Andy for more info!
