Augmented Reality for Geographical Information Management in the Water Utility Sector

ARInfuse is an Erasmus+ Project that aims to infuse skills in Augmented Reality for Geographical Information Management in the Water Utility Sector.

In this field, there is a real need for an accurate positioning of the underground utilities, to avoid damages to the existing infrastructures. An accidental destruction may cause not only high financial losses, but also risks for human life and damages to the environment.

Information communication technologies (ICT), in fusion with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), GIS and geodatabases and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) are able to offer the possibility to convert the geospatial information of the underground utilities into a powerful tool for field workers, engineers and managers.
