According to the PhD student, the most common technology today is BIM modeling. The building information model contains all the data about the object, which allows you to speed up the construction process and save money. In addition, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality are popular.
Omar Shakshak has developed a VR application for occupational safety training. The application allows to reduce the level of injuries at construction sites, effectively train workers and keep them healthy.
