A Practical Deployment of Tactile IoT: 3D Models and Mixed Reality to Increase Safety at Construction Sites

Piotr Sowiński et al.

Excerpt

This chapter elaborates on the usage of mixed reality equipment (Microsoft HoloLens 2) and software (enablers based on the ASSIST-IoT project) for improving the safety and health of blue-collar workers at a construction site. Building upon a proven methodology and architecture, the chapter summarizes the introduction of network technologies and techniques as well as other mechanisms (such as ultra-wideband communication) that allow Tactile Internet principles to be realized in the proposed scenario.

The user interface of the mixed reality device and an engagement study are described, along with future validation and demonstration activities assessing the appropriateness of the proposed system, both at the laboratory and a construction site located in Poland.
