Argos is a project that is aiming to revolutionise the construction industry by creating a mixed reality helmet for construction workers to wear. The helmet is designed to provide users with a comprehensive overview of their project in real-time, allowing them to stay informed and up to date on the progress of their project. The helmet also has the capability to provide users with a virtual reality experience, allowing them to explore their project from a unique perspective.

Idea
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is an innovative approach to the design, construction, and management of buildings and infrastructure. It uses 3D modelling and digital data to create a comprehensive and interactive model of a project. Therefore, the potential of Argos is immense, and it could be used to facilitate a range of construction tasks and processes. For example, it could be used to help workers with site layout, project documentation and project planning. It could also be used to help workers brainstorm ideas, visualize complex structures and collaborate with colleagues in real-time.
Process
At the heart of the development of Argos was a user-centered design approach. This approach allowed for the design and development of the helmet to be informed by the needs and preferences of the users. Through the use of user testing and feedback, the team was able to create a product that was tailored to the needs of the users. The user-centered approach was beneficial for a number of reasons. Firstly, it enabled the development team to create a product that met the needs of the users. This was important as it ensured that the product was suitable for its intended use. Secondly, it provided the team with valuable insights into how the product should be designed and what features should be included. Finally, it allowed the team to create a product that was well-received by the users, leading to greater user satisfaction.
Final Concept
Argos is an ambitious project that is pushing the boundaries of mixed reality technology. It is a testament to the power of technology and its potential to revolutionize the way in which construction projects are managed and executed. By creating a mixed reality helmet, Argos is setting the gold standard for construction safety and efficiency, while at the same time providing the construction industry with a powerful tool to get the job done.
As a result, Argos has been developed to withstand a number of harsh conditions and is equipped with a waterproof and dustproof casing. Additionally, Argos has a number of sensors and supports a range of input and output methods. These include voice commands, gesture control, and haptic feedback.
