1. Graduate Student BIM Research Proposals University of Southern Mississippi School of Construction School of Computing

2. Students and Projects Daniel, James & Corey – Immersive BIM Lacey Duckworth – BIM and Code Compliance Cara Percey – BIM and Construction Management Isaiah Williams – BIM and Tele-Engineering

3. Open Source Immersive BIM Environment Team James Ross, Daniel Comeaux M.S. Computer Science students Sample Projects

4. Immersive BIM Objective To give the user a realistic experience in a virtual environment. Create ability to interact with BIM objects in the environment as well a pull up information about the object being touched. Pictures – mockups – other examples

5. Immersive BIM Milestones 1.) Successfully incorporate a simple model into the virtual reality environment 2.) Interact with the model by opening doors and clicking on the walls for their information 3.) Integrate the VR Goggles into the VR environment and be able to move through it. 4.) Display the information about the exterior and interior walls as a hud. 5.)Fully import a BIM wall into the environment as well as the information about it. 6.) Import an actual BIM into the virtual environment and have ability to examine components of model for information.

6. Immersive BIM Tools Needed Screens and glasses Open Source VR Technology

7. Potential Benefits of Immersive BIM Write stuff here – faster and more accurate virtual design

10. Fostering Construction Management Implementation of BIM Manual Webpage

11. Potential Benefits of Implementation of BIM in Construction Management Time Management Cost Management Construction Documents Etc.

12. Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Cory Berry Currently Masters student in Computer Science Sample Projects

13. Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Help soldiers retrieve BIM information “on-the- fly” through Heads Up Displays [HUD] Use RFID and Soldier’s heading to calculate position in the building Retrieve information with voice or eye movement commands.

14. Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Approach RFID proximity inside building

15. Potential Benefits of Retrieving BIM Information on the Battlefield Advanced Battlefield knowledge and command Future warfighter

16. Virtual BIM Code Compliance Lacey Duckworth Currently PHD student in Computer Science Sample Projects

17. Virtual BIM Code Compliance Objectives Tool to compare BIM models against standard code specifications Lists problems found Virtual walk-through of BIM models with pop- ups of properties and relevant codes.

18. Virtual BIM Code Compliance Approach Import BIM models into VR Object Oriented external compliance engine Create pop-up and compliance list in VR

19. Potential Benefits of Virtual BIM Code Compliance Better code compliance in advance of construction Saved money through fewer errors

20. BIM Tele-Engineering Isaiah Williams Currently Master’s student in Computer Science Sample Projects

21. BIM Tele-Engineering Objectives Allow engineers world-wide to include walk- through and annotate VR BIM models in regular teleconferences

22. BIM Tele-Engineering Approach Survey and understand current ACE teleconference methodology Add functionality to allow BIM models to be loaded, viewed and changed in teleconference

23. Potential Benefits of BIM Tele-Engineering Less travel
