SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Gensler, a leading global
architecture and design firm, announced today that they are
collaborating to explore the intersection of human interfaces,
architecture and computing using mixed-reality technology.
"The potential impact of mixed reality on the practice of
architecture and urban design is an exciting opportunity,
influencing almost every aspect of the design process as well as
the end user experience," said Alan
Robles, associate, Experience Designer at Gensler. "In the
realm of architecture and design, mixed reality represents the next
evolution of the ability to create, evolve and communicate the
design product."
At Augmented World Expo (AWE), Trimble and Gensler will share
their experience about the use of Trimble mixed-reality technology
and Microsoft HoloLens for design and collaboration, and present a
vision around how the technology can evolve the design
practice.
"Mixed reality has the potential to transform the Architecture,
Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industry. Our goal
is to provide solutions to enable this transformation which will
change the way our customers consume, interact and communicate
data. It is an exciting journey and we are delighted to have
Gensler as a partner," said Aviad
Almagor, director of Trimble's Mixed-Reality Program.
With mixed reality, the primary mode of interaction is spatial.
Design teams can review and interact with 3D models in the context
of their physical environment and explore previously invisible
aspects of a building's performance. The technology improves
communication by providing a natural, yet innovative way to
interact with complex data and enables 3D-based remote
collaboration between project stakeholders.
About Trimble's Mixed-Reality Pilot Program
Trimble's Mixed-Reality Pilot Program provides visionary
Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO)
companies an opportunity to experience how mixed-reality technology
can transform the way they work. Working together with Trimble,
pilot participants can explore and utilize mixed reality in their
projects to improve team communication, data interpretation and
collaboration during the design development and pre-construction
stages of their projects. As part of the program, Trimble provides
training and implementation support on Microsoft HoloLens and
Trimble mixed-reality solutions.
