The construction industry has long been plagued by inefficiencies, costly errors, and communication gaps between project stakeholders. However, the advent of advanced augmented reality (AR) technology is ushering in a new era of precision and collaboration. At the forefront of this transformation is the XYZ Reality Atom, an innovative AR hardhat system that seamlessly bridges the gap between digital designs and physical construction. Since its launch in 2021, this groundbreaking device has been deployed in major construction projects totaling over £1.5 billion, demonstrating how technology can fundamentally improve traditional building processes (Tuck, 2021; XR Today, 2023). The XYZ Reality Atom's technological sophistication lies in its ability to overlay highly accurate Building Information Modeling (BIM) data directly onto construction sites with millimetre precision. The device integrates a safety-certified hardhat with a high-resolution AR display, spatial tracking sensors, ...
