Situation: Remote Design team (architect, engineers, customer and contractor) wants to review proposed designs against the realities of the actual facility. A supervisor wearing a headset onsite joins a design review meeting and walks from area to area providing real-time visualization and input about conditions compared to the schematics. Team members are able to ask the onsite supervisor for immediate evaluation and feedback about barriers, constraints and potential design alternatives.
Background: Meeting begins with review of customer requirements, expectations, resources and facility plans.
Analysis: Remote collaboration allows onsite supervisor wearing the headset to move to the specific area being discussed and offer visual review as well as professional evaluation of situation and options.
Recommendation: System allows team members to share schematics as well as pictures taken by headset to discuss actual conditions and evaluate alternatives. Team can expedite decisions by having immediate feedback from supervisor about actual conditions. Decisions and illustrations can be shared in real time to gain team commitment for new plans.
Recording: Meeting and pictures can be recorded to provide later review by outside parties or by team members as they identify additional solutions.
