Abstract

The BIM (Building Information Management) methodology is widely used today in construction, engineering and architecture. For its part, augmented reality is an emerging technology that has been promoted during the last decade, specifically in the construction industry. Its use has been mainly focused on visualization and virtual construction. This technology has facilitated risk management in projects. In addition, it facilitates collaborative development with clients and project stakeholders. The objective of this study is to carry out a survey of the tools avail-able for the integration and applicability of AR and BIM today. The aim is to re-view the main uses of augmented reality and its integration with other emerging technologies. The technological advantages and limitations of the introduction of these technologies in projects in the industrial and mining sectors in Chile were also reviewed.
