Mercury innovates with new virtual reality hub
While Mercury has been working with VR for some time, we are delighted to announce a significant step forward in this space, recently opening a Virtual Reality Hub at our BIM centre in Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland. The VR project is led by Sean Dowd, Mercury BIM Manager in conjunction with VR enthusiasts Sean Lenoach, BIM Co-ordinator and Margaret Carey, BIM Detailer.
Mercury’s in-house BIM team have the capability to generate bespoke VR models for any projects utilising BIM. To date Mercury have integrated VR into numerous Data Centre, Life Sciences & Technology and Healthcare projects with very positive outcomes thus far. The VR models not only create a unique immersive experience for our clients, allowing them to see how Mercury plan to deliver their vision and make it happen, but also have major benefits with respect to design development & review, construction management, QEHS, facilities management and training.
Mercury promises to always deliver. Using VR in collaboration with BIM and traditional construction documentation allows our clients and project team to engage in more thorough design review & construction planning processes. This in turn creates a positive impact on the project for all stakeholders involved.
