The worker pulls on his tool belt and snaps down the visor of his headset. It powers on, loading the 3D model of what he needs to build-in this case, the metal framing for a hospital bathroom pod. The 3D image snaps into place, staying affixed to the floor and ceiling as he moves around it. Without the aid of a tape measure or layout laser, the worker begins assembling the framing, matching the pieces to their ghostly hologram outlines and fastening connections where the model dictates. It was only a proof-of-concept demonstration, set up in a controlled space with proper lighting for the Microsoft HoloLens to function correctly. But the results of the test by Gardena, Calif.-based contractor Martin Bros. were promising, says Cody Nowak, the company's VDC and BIM manager.
