New augmented reality tool helps Changi Airport's engineers to 'see' underground
An augmented reality tool is set to simplify the work for engineers at Changi Airport, cutting down repair and maintenance times for a complex network of critical underground utilities. Maintaining these systems will be even more crucial as the airport continues to expand. The system will continuously update with each new installation or replacement, digitally capturing the data to create a highly precise 3D model down to the centimetre. Charlotte Lim reports.
