We have now been able to test AR-Explorer at the Viega Cube in Aachen, an installation with an enormous amount of complex technical building equipment (TGA) and therefore an ideal place to test the overlay and the resulting added value of digital 3D and BIM data and reality. Of course, it was particularly exciting to see how well the slam tracking would work on the smartphone.

![digitale Visualisierung eines Wohnhauses](https://www.ar-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/digitaler_Zwilling_Immobilien_Ar-Explorer-1024x683.jpg)
In today's digital era, the real estate industry has begun to explore the possibilities of the digital twin - a virtual replica of a physical building. This innovative technology offers a variety of benefits for real estate developers, building owners, facility managers and other stakeholders. In this post, we'll take a closer look at the benefits of a building's digital twin and how it's revolutionizing the way we design, build and manage buildings.
Augmented reality in construction - combining BIM and augmented reality
![BIM und Augmented Reality im Bauwesen](https://www.ar-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Augmented-Reality_im_Bauwesen-1024x683.jpg)
In an era where technology is changing the way we work every day, the construction industry has undergone a remarkable transformation. One of the most innovative developments in this area is the integration of augmented reality (AR) into building information modeling (BIM).
Efficient facility management with dynamic tickets: the future of building management
![Positionsansicht von Tickets im realen Raum](https://www.ar-explorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/AR-Explorer-3D-Ticketsystem-Anwendung-1.jpg)
Communication plays a crucial role in facility management, the art of operating and maintaining buildings efficiently. With the increasing complexity of buildings and facilities, effective and transparent communication between different parties is becoming ever more important. This is where BCF tickets come into play - a powerful tool that revolutionizes collaboration in facility management.
