LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AUTODESK
UNIVERSITY – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today unveiled Autodesk
Workshop XR, an immersive design review workspace connected to
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). Workshop XR provides
more effective and efficient design reviews for the architecture,
engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. This real-time,
shared experience empowers teams to review 3D models and their
data from anywhere, resulting in better decision making and more
profitable and sustainable projects. The news was announced at
Autodesk University, The Design & Make Conference.
"Workshop XR will transform how architects and building
engineers plan and review projects," said Nicolas Fonta, senior director &
general manager, XR at Autodesk. "Most building projects that go
over budget do so because issues are discovered once construction
has begun. We've heard many customers share the challenges of
reviewing designs across dispersed teams."
Workshop XR and ACC are part of Autodesk's Design and Make
Platform, which includes cloud-connected software solutions that
unite teams, data and workflows across entire project lifecycles to
deliver better, faster outcomes. With Workshop XR, AEC teams can
review and collaborate on projects to track issues, catch errors,
and enable better spatial understanding. With automatically
connected data from ACC, no-prep model loading, and synced issue
tracking, Workshop XR makes design reviews frictionless and
efficient.
"With Workshop XR, AEC teams can walk through models at a
one-to-one scale to gain a shared understanding of how project
data will translate to the real world," Fonta continues. "This will
benefit our customers' bottom line—and the planet—by driving better
design decisions, reducing waste and rework costs, and cutting down
on team travel."
Autodesk Workshop XR will be available on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest
Pro, and Meta Quest 3
headsets.
"Meta's collaboration with Autodesk brings our collective vision
for the future of work to life," said Jamie
Keane, director of product at Meta. "Meta Quest headsets and Meta Avatars offer a
secure connection to Workshop XR that takes on a new dimension of
collaboration and presence. This immersive experience transforms
the way teams work by boosting creativity and expanding the
possibilities of what can be achieved."
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering,
has been using an early access version of Workshop XR to facilitate
and improve their design reviews.
"Autodesk Workshop XR has added incredible value to how we
collaborate," said Jon Matalucci,
BIM/VDC manager at Stantec. "Our employees are based in over 400
locations and Workshop XR has brought teams together in a workspace
that is realistic and approachable. We can work in parallel with
each other, share the same information in a common data environment
and, as a result, we are more efficient at problem-solving.
Workshop XR allows our team to work smarter and focus on delivering
the best projects to our clients."
With its key points of differentiation, Workshop XR is the most
accessible and connected virtual workspace for AEC design reviews.
Key capabilities include:
- Dynamic virtual workspace: Workshop XR's agile and
immersive workspace is specifically designed to streamline AEC
collaboration for every experience level in virtual reality (VR).
Teams can dive into the details and analyze the intricacies of
their designs.
No-Prep Model Loading: Workshop XR enables AEC teams to
easily experience and analyze models from Autodesk Construction
Cloud—small and large—together in real-time.
- Full access to Autodesk Construction Cloud data: Project
data is streamed directly from Autodesk Construction Cloud into
Workshop XR. Teams have a single source of truth for Files and
Issues to gain a spatial understanding in VR and beyond.
"We're excited to see what the AEC industry will achieve when
equipped with Workshop XR," said Fonta. "Facilitating more
effective and efficient design reviews will have an impact beyond
client satisfaction; it will bolster innovation for the future of
our homes, communities, and workplaces."
Experience Autodesk Workshop XR through a live demo at Autodesk
University, November 13-15, 2023.
