DESCRIPTION:N-dimensional building information and augmented reality model
 ing (nD BIM+AR) is the use of integrated multi-disciplinary performance mo
 dels of design\, construction\, and operation to support project delivery 
 objectives. This talk introduces the fundamental theories and methods of g
 enerating and representing    nD BIM+AR models\, and includes specific cas
 e studies of models\, precise objectives\, as well as detailed suggestions
  on how to implement them in practice.  Particularly\, four main aspects o
 f these models for improving delivery of both building and civil infrastru
 cture projects will be introduced and discussed: (1) model integration: ho
 w all project participants can access shared data\, and a change in one co
 mponent can change the dependent aspects of the integrated models\; (2) mu
 lti-disciplinary coordination and collaboration: how these models facilita
 te coordination and collaboration among Architecture\, Engineering\, Const
 ruction\, and Facility Management (AEC/FM) experts\; and (3) performance m
 odels: how project performance (physical progress\, quality\, productivity
 \, safety\, and environmental impacts) can be sensed and analyzed using BI
 M and daily site photo/video logs\; and finally (4) integrated visualizati
 on: how the expected and measured performance in relationship to stated pr
 oject performance objectives can be represented and visualized in 4-dimens
 ional augmented reality environments. The process of generating these mode
 ls\, and their perceived and actual benefits and limitations in improving 
 business performance will be discussed in detail.
