Virtual Tour (VT), Informational Modeling (IM), and Augmented Reality (AR) for Visual Inspections (VI) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
Existing infrastructure in the U.S. is deteriorating; the symptoms of overdue maintenance and under investment are ever-present in U.S. society. To ensure the safety of existing infrastructure, on-site life-time inspections and monitoring are required. While these methods yield a great deal of raw and analyzed data, current methods can lead to mismanagement of infrastructure resources. New technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, combined with informational modeling, have a great potential to overcome this issue. The objective of this work is to create a method and associated software for integrating, documenting, accessing, and visualizing lifetime inspections and monitoring data and metadata of infrastructure using virtual tours (VT), informational modeling (IM), and augmented reality (AR). A practical outcome of the project will be a demonstration software that can be accessed on a mobile device, laptop, desk computer, virtual reality (VR) headset, or AR headset, depending on a user’s needs.
