Research Assistant Professor (UM Macao Fellow)
Loco-AR is developed to connect lifting supervisors and crane operators to enhance lifting operation coordination. It consists of two units: a BIM-based information exchange unit that supplies workers with critical project information and provides geometries of building structures and cranes for visualization; and a multi-user AR interaction unit that superimposes the tempo-spatial AR-BIM models to reality and engages workers in a shared environment for concurrent manipulation. The system shares a vision of promoting the adoption of BIM and multi-user AR for remote collaboration in onsite construction.

Enabled by BIM and multi-user VR, the system aims to empower collaborative training of precast facade installation among crane operators and riggers. Compared to conventional practice and prevalent VR systems, our system provides a safe, economical, and collaborative approach for construction trainees to better know the operational procedures as well as the mutual influence among co-workers in different trades.
