Gamma Technologies

Gamma AR is disrupting the construction industry by bringing 3D Building Information Models (BIM) models intuitively to the construction site, overlaying them as “holograms” and attaching infrastructure information from the site directly to these models. Gamma utilizes its augmented reality technology to overlay BIM models on contractors’ mobile handsets displaying the otherwise unseen infrastructure. Gamma’s BIM / AR software is used to guide operators on where to cut, drill, etc., therefore reducing both planning time and the chances of performing work in the wrong place, which is costly.
