Novas tecnologias para concepção e representação de projetos: uso de realidade aumentada e aplicação em canteiro de obra pública na cidade de Paulista-PB.

Abstract

Technology has been applied on a large scale and in numerous sectors, allowing to optimize and improve various processes. However, much needs to be done and introduced to solve problems that still exist in the scope of civil construction, in order to deal with errors that cause unnecessary consumption of natural resources, constructive errors that cause pathologies and reduction of expenses through faithful schedules and budgets well integrated into the project. This research aims to present Augmented Reality through a bibliographic review that addresses its concepts and applications, in addition to highlighting how it can be seen as a BIM tool, and to show in practice the use of its tools in the elaboration of project sheets. In addition, an attempt was made to evaluate the acceptance regarding its use at a construction site, before a public construction team in the city of Paulista-PB. For this purpose, projects referring to a building already constructed were used, which had its disciplines modeled in BIM software, coming from geometric designs made in AutoCAD 2D. From these models, two types of project sheets were created, the original of the building and the one in BIM bearing Augmented Reality, which were then used to present to the research focus group. As a result, it was possible to notice the steps of increasing Augmented Reality to a project, as well as the benefits arising from the visualization of a model hitherto in 2D or 3D with limited view. When presenting these tools to workers, a positive assessment was obtained in terms of visualization and understanding, when compared to the conventional way of disposing of the projects taken to the site. In addition to this evaluation, an analysis was made that pointed out the advantages and disadvantages found throughout the process, emphasizing that AR is practical and that it can add up to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry, but as in other softwares, the tool still needs to be improved, and does not eliminate the need for an operator who knows how to use it, so that it can be well applied.
