Graduate Student BIM Research Proposals University of Southern Mississippi School of Construction School of Computing
Students and Projects • Daniel, James & Corey – Immersive BIM • Lacey Duckworth – BIM and Code Compliance • Cara Percey – BIM and Construction Management • Isaiah Williams – BIM and Tele-Engineering
Open Source Immersive BIM Environment • Team • James Ross, Daniel Comeaux • M.S. Computer Science students Sample Projects
Immersive BIM Objective • To give the user a realistic experience in a virtual environment. • Create ability to interact with BIM objects in the environment as well a pull up information about the object being touched. • Pictures – mockups – other examples
Immersive BIM Milestones 1.) Successfully incorporate a simple model into the virtual reality environment 2.) Interact with the model by opening doors and clicking on the walls for their information 3.) Integrate the VR Goggles into the VR environment and be able to move through it. 4.) Display the information about the exterior and interior walls as a hud. 5.)Fully import a BIM wall into the environment as well as the information about it. 6.) Import an actual BIM into the virtual environment and have ability to examine components of model for information.
Immersive BIM Tools Needed • Screens and glasses • Open Source VR • Technology
Potential Benefits of Immersive BIM • Write stuff here – faster and more accurate virtual design
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM at Engineering Research Development Centers • Cara Percy • Bs. Architectural Engineering Technology • Current Masters Student, Construction Management • Sample Work Capstone Project Modeling & Animation Modeling & Animation
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM • Curriculum to help ERDC’s roll-out the wider use of BIM • Focusing on the implementation in Construction Management Quality Management Time Management Cost Management Safety Management
Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM • Manual • Workshops • At regional meetings • Webpage
Potential Benefits ofImplementation of BIM in Construction Management • Reduce Time • Fewer RFI’s • Field Coordination • Reduce Cost • Increase Return • Productivity Improvement • Improve Quality Control • Improved accuracy • Overall Increased Clarity
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield • Corey Berry • B.S. in Computer Science with Minor in Software Engineering • Sample Project History
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield • Help soldiers retrieve BIM information “on-the-fly” through Heads Up Displays [HUD] • Use RFID and Soldier’s heading to calculate position in the building • Retrieve information with voice or eye movement commands.
Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield When within 50 feet of a building the soldier will receive a signal from the RFID chip inside of the building. The signal will contain vital BIM data that will be used to gain more information about the building before the soldier enters it.
Potential Benefits of Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield • Advanced Battlefield knowledge and command • Implementation into Future war-fighter project.
Virtual BIM Code Compliance • Lacey Duckworth • Currently PHD student in Computer Science • Sample Projects
Virtual BIM Code Compliance • Objectives • Tool to compare BIM models against standard code specifications • Lists problems found • Virtual walk-through of BIM models with pop-ups of properties and relevant codes.
Virtual BIM Code Compliance • Approach Import BIM models into VR Object Oriented external compliance engine Create pop-up and compliance list in VR
Potential Benefits of Virtual BIM Code Compliance • Better code compliance in advance of construction • Saved money through fewer errors
BIM Tele-Engineering • Isaiah Williams • Currently Master’s student in Computer Science • Sample Project • Open Source Building Environment for Simulation and Traininghttp://www.icee.usm.edu/osbest/
BIM Tele-Engineering • Objectives • Allow engineers world-wide to include walk-through and annotate virtual reality BIM models in regular teleconferences
BIM Tele-Engineering • Approach Survey and understand current ACE teleconference methodology Add functionality to allow BIM models to be loaded, viewed and changed in teleconference
Potential Benefits of BIM Tele-Engineering • Models built in virtual reality for use in other projects • Less travel • Saving money
Interactive 5D BIM • Lewis Jones • Currently PHD student in Computer Science • Sample Projects
