The Role of SLAM Technology for Reality Capture & the Metaverse

Geospatial data is taking a lead role in the development of the eventual metaverse. Highly detailed 3D datasets along with GIS will serve as the backbone of whatever the metaverse will become as the concept continues to take shape. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems simplify data collection and significantly increases the speed by which 3D datasets can be developed. SLAM technology utilizes both lidar and cameras for mapping both indoor and outdoor locations. This emerging approach to reality capture is making it possible to efficiently map robust 3D environments in ways that have been cost-prohibitive in the past. The goal of this presentation is to introduce the fundamentals of SLAM systems and provide a representative sample of real-life use cases.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will know the fundamentals of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology by being introduced to core concepts.
Participants will identify use cases for indoor mapping and using lidar data to generate BIM models by examining real-life projects.
Participants will be able to define reality capture by examining current applications including digital twins.
Participants will be able to define high-level concepts of a theoretical metaverse through discussion of possible applications within the A&E industry.

BEC Research Triangle - Facade Design Using Lifecycle Carbon Analysis
2023-02-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Online Meeting
BEC Research Triangle
Facade Design Using Lifecycle Carbon Analysis
February 16, 2023
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

For many years now, architects and engineers have regularly used building performance modeling to test various energy improvements. These studies have routinely focused on the reduction of operational energy, which only accounts for one aspect of a building’s carbon emissions. Excluded from these energy analyses are the impacts of both embodied carbon and a project’s local grid emissions factor. With the aim of reducing total carbon emissions, this presentation will demonstrate a design approach for building façades which combines both embodied and operational carbon emissions, thereby basing design choices on total lifecycle carbon emissions.

Dr. Adriaenssens’s research focuses on lightweight surface systems and how they can be optimized and realized to interact with extreme structural or environmental loading. This includes research on flexible and rigid shells and plates, submerged flexible membranes and nets, and metamaterials with applications for a resilient urban environment. The applications range from adaptive building shading devices to large-scale inflatable storm surge barriers and are sometimes inspired by systems that evolved in biology, art or architecture. A display of Sigrid’s work will be on display at the Center for Architecture.
