About the session

Adoption of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technologies has accelerated at a rapid pace. What was once seen as a nice to have has quickly become an essential tool for many professionals in the built environment. Soluis Group are amongst the earliest innovators in bringing the benefits of augmented and virtual reality to the industries including design, construction, manufacturing and healthcare.

So what comes next for these innovative new technologies? More recently Soluis have been pioneering in the development of shared immersive solutions for business and advanced AR assisted tools that will transform the world of work. This has culminated in a series of exemplar projects including Innovate UK’s IC Tomorrow competition to develop augmented reality (AR) software, utilised at Crossrail sites in London.

In this session Scott Grant, CEO of the Soluis Group will explore the future of augmented and mixed reality in the built environment. Showcasing some of the Group’s latest projects and offering a glimpse of what is yet to come.
