, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This present invention discloses the system and method for construction stream collaboration using virtual reality technology. It is particularly related to construction sector.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Construction is an industry which employs a wide range of personnel such as managers, designers, plumbers, welders, carpenters, and electricians. A project completed on time and according to the proposed budget is a perfect example of a successful collaboration. But all the workers involved in a project are not always present on a job site. Any errors that arise must wait for all the parties involved to assemble and review blueprints and make any changes.
The present invention provide solution to above problem. With the help of virtual reality technology, the stream collaboration system in construction is achieved.
Stream collaboration is key to any construction project, but the longer a project goes on, the more important is to build strong working relationships between workers.
Poor collaboration can lead to wasted time, sunk costs, errors, and the need to redo work. Coordination efforts need to go beyond organizing tasks between people and creating a checklist. Workplace should be trustworthy and respectful which ensure a smooth construction process.
Virtual reality in construction is the next level in 3D modelling. Like 3D modelling, it involves a detailed virtual model of the project. Unlike 3D modelling, it places the user directly inside the virtual environment, so that the user experiences a full immersion into the virtual space. During the construction process, with the help of AR device, inspection of all work can be done.
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the invention is, the system and method for construction streamline collaboration using virtual reality technology.
Another object of the invention is, VR (virtual reality) enabled devices are needed (such as VR headset).
Another object of the invention is, helps construction teams to inspect all errors regarding building construction with virtual reality.
Other object of the invention is, it is time saving.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for construction stream collaboration using virtual reality technology. The application of construction stream collaboration is installed at backend server. The application is designed in a such a way that for a map spaced is in a ratio with original space, means one feet of customer in real, employ 10 or 15 feet in virtual reality. This scale is defined in application. Virtual reality enabled headset is connected to server with the help of wi-fi modem. Virtual reality enabled headset is connected with construction stream collaboration application of the server. Any user/team member wear the headset and enter in the room/space where actual area is mapped with virtual area. Virtual reality headset creates simulated environment of construction build up area. Team member/user feels that he/she is the one of the members of that virtual world. If there is any error, then the member takes notes and inform to the team who is responsible for it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for construction stream collaboration using virtual reality technology.
The present invention system is comprising of contents such as;
Any VR enabled device such as VR headset
Backend server – the construction streamline collaboration application is installed
Wi-Fi modem - for connectivity between backend server and virtual reality enabled device
The present invention implemented in a combination of both hardware and software.
The present invention system is comprising of;
Step 1) The construction streamline collaboration application is installed at backend server
Step 2) VR enabled headset is connected with backend server
Step 3) Virtual worksite is mapped with real space in proper scale
Step 4) User/team member wear VR enabled headset and enter in the virtual worksite area
Step 5) User/team member can feel that he/she is in the virtual completed construction scene
Step 6) If any error finds, then team member take a note and inform a team who is responsible for it
This is general overview of system. System is not bounded to this only.
By using this invention construction team member can feel how the project will look after completion. User can see and observe the project minutely. If there is any error, then team member makes a note about it. And inform the team which is responsible for it.
With the help of VR, team members can take a note and share views of any error or design issues in question and send the information to any remote teams. On-site and remote team members are able to consult with each other and work with the information needed, greatly lowering the time and costs needed to make a decision among teams.
By wearing a virtual reality headset, workers would be able to inspect the built components and compare them against the measurements specified in the models. This helps workers find any error in the structures.
VR gives teams the ability to “see” a project site without traveling to it. They use VR to help onsite stakeholders understand the project needs during the planning phase, and they also use it to ensure remote teams can view progress and provide input throughout the construction phase.
The project is completed with lots of small teams. If there is any error due to one team, then other team have to wait for error rectification by that particular team. Because each and every team is not available to every time on construction site.
With the present invention, if the inspection team member finds any error or any design issue, they give error report and inform other team who is responsible for that error. So that team with onsite team can co-ordinate well. Due to this time delay can be avoided. Also, it saves money of project.
Virtual reality technology doesn’t deduce the labour/worker, but it reduces the time required for their conventional method of construction. It helps worker to work smartly and not hardly.
Consider an example of the invention, inspection team member with help of the invention find that, the position of window is misplaced. And it should be shifted to other location. Then the team member informs design team, and contractor team about it. Without waste of time, responsible team member can know what changes should be done.
By the coming year Virtual Reality definitely be major part of construction sector.
