This session will explore how Autodesk Workshop XR is transforming project coordination, making early issue detection and resolution the new normal. With a seamless Autodesk Construction Cloud integration, we'll discover how to harness the power of Workshop XR to enhance workflow efficiency, bridge communication gaps, and minimize costly reworks and materials waste. We'll show what it's like to walk through a model in virtual reality (VR) at human scale, and review its associated building information modeling (BIM) data—while helping to accelerate team alignment during the design phase.

In this interactive hands-on lab, you'll learn how to use Autodesk Workshop XR (an immersive workspace) as an essential tool to accelerate your design review process, as have leading firms such as Stantec, HKS, and AtkinsRéalis. Together, we will create a workshop using a 3D model from Autodesk Construction Cloud. Then, using the provided Meta Quest VR headsets, you will have the opportunity to experience the immersive power of collaboratively walking through the model. By reviewing the model in detail and having live access to the associated building information modeling (BIM) data, you can identify spatial issues faster—issues that get missed when viewing on a regular screen or automated clash detection. Take the learnings from this hands-on lab back to your team and empower them to move successfully from design to construction more efficiently and sustainably. We will provide the laptops and the Meta Quest headsets; all you need to bring is your innovative spirit.

Virtual reality (VR) is often used as a tool to present a visualization of the final situation to a project team or the client. Within Dura Vermeer, however, VR is also used in another way: to hold virtual safety sessions. After all, in VR it is actually possible to "experience" an unsafe situation on the construction site. Based on the 4D model—which includes equipment, temporary situations, safety zones, and work zones—an export is made to VR. The foreperson and safety personnel use this VR model during a virtual safety session to investigate whether the project can be built safely. During this industry talk, we'll take you through Dura Vermeer's current processes for creating a VR model, and show you how we use VR to test whether we can construct a project safely. In addition, Dura Vermeer will be joined by a representative of Autodesk's XR team to discuss how Autodesk Workshop XR software is streamlining workflows and advancing this use case on active projects.

While professional artists use high-fidelity animation techniques—pioneered and refined by Autodesk's animation products MotionBuilder, 3ds Max, and Maya—in games, film, and design production pipelines, we ask the questions: What if the user is not as skilled? What if their requirements for control are not as stringent Could we leverage new input modalities to allow untrained creators to record and edit 3D motion in just a few minutes? We'll discuss the speed and utility afforded by animating in a completely new paradigm: One that allows you to express intent with your body, fingers, face, gaze, and speech while enhancing presence, storytelling, and collaboration in real-time immersive experiences, and engaging your spatial understanding, reasoning, and memory to author 3D animations. Come and hear what our panel of experts from Meta Platforms, Workshop XR, Entertainment and Media Solutions as well as Autodesk Research have to say.
