 Summary

The XYZ Reality headset was custom-built for the construction industry and intended to help businesses achieve greater levels of productivity, performance, and collaboration (Carter, 2023). According to XYZ Reality’s website (2023), the XYZ Reality Atom augmented reality (AR) goggles are an advanced tool designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and safety in the construction industry. They feature millimetre-accurate 3D model overlays, enabling users to visualise and align BIM designs directly on-site, reducing errors and ensuring projects stay true to specifications. Integrated with Autodesk BIM 360, the goggles allow seamless management of design models, issue tracking, and real-time collaboration among teams (AEC Magazine, 2023).

A high-resolution AR display offers a wide field of view for clear and detailed visualisations, while the safety-certified helmet ensures compliance with construction safety standards (Red Dot, 2023). The device also includes offline functionality, allowing users to work in remote locations without internet access. Additionally, the hot-swappable battery system ensures uninterrupted use during extended projects, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity enable efficient data sharing and communication (XR Today, 2023).

XYZ Reality's Atom headset revolutionises the construction industry by combining cutting-edge augmented reality technology with precise spatial mapping, enabling professionals to visualize, validate, and execute projects with accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration on-site.

By combining cutting-edge AR technology with practical features tailored to construction needs, the Atom goggles help streamline workflows, enhance safety, and save time. This innovative solution transforms traditional construction processes, setting a new standard for accuracy and productivity in the industry.

Thesis

XYZ Reality’s headset revolutionises augmented reality (AR) in construction by providing precise, real-time holographic overlays, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration on-site, ultimately reducing costly errors and project delays.

UCS1001 Formal Email

-
 Subject: Getting to know me better Dear Professor Bradstone,     I hope this email finds you in good spirits. My name is Chua Yi Zhe. I am currently a Year 1 student, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Singapore Institute of Technology. The purpose of this email is to do a short introduction of myself and to give you a better insight of my background and goals in the future.     Before attending Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), I had previously studied at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, where I graduated with a Diploma in Audio-Visual Technology Engineering. Although this program was focused on the audio, visual and staging industry, I had obtained some basic knowledge of electrical engineering related to my field of study. This made me passionate about engineering as I learned that in every aspect of life, a form of engineering is needed. After graduation, I needed a change of pace and therefore chose to dwell into the study of civil engineerin...

USC1001 Task 3

 Task 3: The Importance of Communication Skills for Engineers I felt particular importance in this quote:  "Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students' education but also to prepare them for their future careers."  Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) The way I derived this quote is that it's not only important to be proficient in a student's course of study but also be able to have good communication skills in their field of work. The way we could prepare for the workforce is to start developing and improving during our education and in classes. Being confident and impressionable is an important part of communication skills, in which could be a good way of making new connections and meeting new people, and of course having two thinking minds is better than one. Being future engineers, having connections and friends in the industry is always an advantage. If I...
