Individual Research on Microsoft Hololens 2 28 Feb 2025 1. Found out that the Hololens 2 uses Bidirectional Interlaced Scanning which displays every other line in each frame instead of non-interlaced scanning which displays all the lines on every refresh frame. (Read through consumers' reviews) 2. Researching more on the Hololens 2 specifications in which it uses 120 Hz interlaced which is equivalent to about 60 Hz non-interlaced. (Used DeepSeek to search for potential issues) 3. Found out the importance of non-interlaced video sources as conceptually the human vision takes snapshots of images. With interlaced videos, there will be times where the human vision puts interlaced images wrongly or even misses a certain line. (Found on the intel website on how interlaced videos work) 4. Came to a conclusion that it is a safety hazard in the field of engineering where any mistakes can cause serious implications  5. Came up with the ideal that the Hololens 2 is lacking behind technologica...

  The XYZ Reality Atom is an advanced augmented reality (AR) device designed specifically catered toward the construction industry, which integrates AR technology to aid in the efficiency and precision in building projects. Launched in 2021, the Atom is essentially a combination of a safety-certified hardhat and augmented reality displays which is then beefed up with its ability to overlay Building Information Modeling (BIM) data directly onto the construction site, allowing engineers and workers to visualise structures in real-time with millimetre accuracy (Tuck, 2021). It’s also equipped with a high-resolution display, spatial tracking capabilities, and also a powerful computing unit that enables real-time processing of complex models. Since its launch, the Atom has been deployed in projects totaling over £1.5 billion, including data centers, pharmaceutical facilities, and airports. Its impact on the construction industry has been recognized with accolades such as the Gold German...

Thesis Statement: 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. Support #1:  The Atom Headset is equipped with a high-resolution display, spatial tracking capabilities, and a powerful computing unit that enables real-time processing of complex models. Additionally, it includes a hands-free interface, enabling workers to access blueprints, detect potential clashes, and validate construction accuracy without relying on traditional 2D drawings. By reducing rework and streamlining collaboration, the XYZ Reality Atom Headset enhances productivity and ensures that construction projects stay within budget and schedule. Support #2:  One of the primary advantages of the Atom Headset is its potential to reduce costly rework. According to industry reports, construction errors contribute to appr...
