Enhancing the Performance Of Instrumental Tasks In Construction Through Immersive Augmented Reality Technology

Abstract

This thesis dives into instrumental immersion to better understand and improve the user experience of augmented reality (AR) devices and their interfaces. This is spesific to the usage of AR devices in the domain of construction. The thesis is devided into two parts. An academic texts that discusses what level of immersion that is most optimal for AR in construction, and an evaluation of the device known as Trimble SiteVision. The evaluation is the practical component of this thesis. Here, experts are interviewed about their experiences and together we have worked out what works well and what does not. We have also proposed solutions through co-design.
