Abstract
The article describes our mobile Augmented Reality (AR)
system for construction site visualization and
interaction. Combined with Building Information Models
(BIM) and project time tables (4D), mobile AR makes it
possible to compare the actual situation at the
construction site with the building's planned state at
the given time. We describe the implementation and
functionality of different modules of the system,
starting from 4D BIM models placed in geographic map
representations, to mobile AR visualization and
interaction at the construction site. The mobile AR
system can be operated either stand-alone, or as a
client-server solution scaling down to mobile phones and
tablets based on our lightweight tracking solution. The
use of the mobile AR system is validated in field tests,
covering architectural AR visualization with
photorealistic rendering effects, up to construction time
applications at a real building site
