This year\u2019s Digital Construction Week offers visitors a chance to meet the teams behind the tech and try out the latest launches set to disrupt the AECO industry<\/h2>\n

From drone races\u00a0to VR\/AR demos, 3D printing\u00a0and robotics, this year’s Digital Construction Week (at London’s ExCeL from 18-19 October),\u00a0offers a chance to get to grips with the pioneering technologies and processes disrupting the AECO industry.<\/p>\n

The free to attend* exhibition runs alongside the Digital Construction Week thought leadership conference which has been co-curated by the UK Government\u2019s Digital Built Britain Strategy<\/a>, and boasts 5 themed seminar streams covering: Visualisation, Geospatial, Industry 4.0, Tech and BIM. In addition to the free seminar content, visitors will be able to meet the \u2018teams behind the tech\u2019 in each themed area – with experiential exhibition stands offering demonstrations on how these innovations can revolutionise the way you work, with hands-on demos, advice & real-life project insights.<\/p>\n

Exhibitor highlights include the newly opened\u00a0Construction Scotland\u2019s Innovation Centre, which will be showcasing the expertise and equipment available at its\u00a035,000sq ft prototyping and training facility in Glasgow. The team from the\u00a0\u2018Innovation Factory\u2019, which is available for industry wide collaboration projects, will be\u00a0demonstrating tech including their AR\/VR kit,\u00a0Sawyer Collaborative Robot and 3D scanner,\u00a0as well as\u00a0showcasing\u00a0a WikiHouse structure.<\/p>\n

More developments in robotics and automation will also be on show via\u00a0The\u00a0Design Computation Lab\u00a0– a\u00a0new research laboratory at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. The most current work of the postgraduate students involved in the lab will be presented,\u00a0alongside demos of an industrial robot fabricating the\u00a0building elements of an assembled structure live at the show.
\nFor those interested in visualisation, stepping into the\u00a0VR\/AR Lab\u00a0will\u00a0offer a chance to focus on the business case and practical application of AR & VR in the built environment, using HTC Vives and several mobile VR systems to try out advanced applications used on real projects. While\u00a0HP\u00a0will be revealing its pioneering VR project \u2018HP Mars Home Planet\u2019 at the show and offering visitors the chance to try out their\u00a0fully immersive and untethered VR solution \u2013 the\u00a0Z VR Backpack.<\/p>\n

In the Geospatial area, a chance to meet the teams behind key infrastructure projects including\u00a0Thames Tideway and HS2\u00a0will offer insight into real-life applications of the latest innovations in this sector, and visitors will get the ultimate hands on experience in the Digital Construction Week Drone Racing\u00a0competition where they can take control of their own UAV and pit their drone operating skills against DCW\u2019s \u2018stig\u2019 racer.<\/p>\n
