The lab enables Designer Group to build projects virtually, allowing them to present concepts to clients to gain buy-in and sign off. “Clients have become more educated on BIM and really understand how the technology can add value, not only to the construction but to the full life cycle of the building.” The EVL enables staff, external consultants and clients to step inside the design and experience the result at a much earlier stage of the overall process, leading to improvements in project completion timelines and deeper project engagement overall. The Designer Group chose the F series interactive display from Avocor to be installed in the EVL, using the Avocor interactive displays with leading manufacturers in the CAD, BIM and Virtual Reality (VR) space such as Bluebeam and Autodesk. “We knew that we wanted to have an interactive display solution within the EVL, and we wanted the solution to meet the needs of our Business, Avocor did just that. One of the key things we loved about the display was the 4K screen resolution, we use Bluebeam collaboration software to drive our projects and the Avocor display worked perfectly with the software, really making the content on the screen stand out.” One of the key benefits of the Avocor display is its interoperability, enabling users to switch seamlessly between applications, vital for Designer Group who work with multiple software platforms. “The touch capability of the Avocor display is really helping to enhance collaboration, increase engagement and ultimately improve overall productivity here at Designer Group. Users are enjoying the fact that they can easily mark-up drawings and annotations are clear and precise. Teams can review changes in real- time which reduces installation errors and speeds up project sign off which is fantastic.” The Avocor F series includes multiple touch points, enabling a more collaborative environment for users. Utilising FlatFrog InGlass™ touch technology, the F series delivers a superior writing experience that’s as natural as putting pen to paper. Object recognition allows for the smooth transition between pen, finger and palm for seamless collaboration. “What we have achieved here at Designer Group with the Electronic Virtualisation Lab is an environment that several of our contractors are now looking to deploy within their own businesses as we move towards this approach being adopted as the standard across our industry. The Avocor display is a fundamental part of the solution, enhancing the user experience and bringing our software to life."
