Autodesk’s Workshop XR at SKETS: Discussing Extended Reality & Its Future

In the fast-paced world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), staying ahead of technological advancements is paramount. With 19 years in the industry, SKETS Studio has been the global leader in the design documentation industry and has been working with top designers, architects, and engineering firms from across the globe. We are consistently adopting and integrating cutting-edge technologies like BIM, immersive VR in architecture visualization, and are now stepping into XR (extended reality) to enhance project execution and collaboration. We are gearing ourselves for the coming years with Extended Reality (XR), which reaffirms our position as a technology-driven firm.

Autodesk Workshop: Showcasing groundbreaking XR Technology at SKETS Campus

Recently, Autodesk conducted a workshop on SKETS campus, introducing a groundbreaking XR-based technology known as Workshop XR. This platform, still in its beta phase, has already demonstrated remarkable efficacy in collaborative project execution. Workshop XR empowers architects, designers, and engineers to explore, automate, and review models in real time, irrespective of their physical locations and time zones.

The significance of XR in the AEC sector is immense yet largely untapped. By bridging the gap between the digital and physical realms, XR technology is poised to revolutionize workflows and set new standards for teamwork and collaboration. For businesses like ours, the adoption of XR solutions offers a potential opportunity to enhance efficiency, streamline processes, and evolve into seamless communication among collaborators globally.

Future Application of XR | Real-Time Remote Collaboration

The true power of XR technology lies in its ability to facilitate real-time collaboration among stakeholders to resolve the cost and time errors in the initial stage of the project. This application is transformative for the AEC industry, where timely and precise coordination is crucial for project success. By leveraging XR, we can offer our clients a platform where they can review, modify, and enhance projects collaboratively, ensuring alignment and reducing the margin for error.

Our established labs are equipped to seamlessly integrate XR technology, allowing us to deliver unparalleled service and innovation to our clients. We are excited about the potential of XR to redefine the standards of collaboration in the AEC sector, making projects more efficient, interactive, and engaging.

Conclusion: Embracing the Future with XR at SKETS Studio

As we stand on the brink of a new era in the AEC industry, SKETS Studio remains committed to leading the charge in technological innovation. The introduction of XR technology into our suite of services is not just an upgrade; it is a testament to our dedication to excellence and our vision for the future. SKETS has already been using Unreal Engine5 to produce UE Walkthrough, Interactive VR Walkthrough, and First-Person Walkthrough. SKETS has been adopting, augmenting, and leading the way as a technology frontrunner since its inception in 2005. As a one-stop solution providing BIM, MEPF, Interiors, Architecture, and 3D services, our execution pipeline will soon include XR technology, which we are excited about. In the near future, we will be collaborating with our clients in real-time with our clients, enriching their delivery experience.
