On-Site Magazine presents: Cameras in Construction

Everyone has seen Spot the Robotic Dog, and while that technology is eye-catching, it’s just scratching the surface of how images can and are used on construction sites. From tapping drone technology to build accurate site maps, to the use of images to build 3-D models for VDC, to generating pin-point-accurate photo-realistic images of spaces under construction, to snapping pics on a smartphone for use in project reporting and tracking apps, we now live and work in a visual world.

Join On-Site Magazine and a panel of industry experts during this free webinar as we look at the cameras, drones, lasers and imaging-related technology and apps that are changing the face of Canada’s construction industry.
