Abstract
The development of a physical building control center can support project management and -control to optimize the flow of the complex processes at a construction site. The concept consists of equipping vehicles with sensors and using VR and AR-techniques to visualize this real time information and allow an optical adaption to current circumstances. The result will be shown by a more efficient utilization and enhanced cost effectiveness. To analyse what is required you always start by clarifying the relevant object to be presented in VR. The instrument chosen was interview. The second step is to work out the necessary way of computing, viewing and manipulating this data. Finally a hardware setting is designed that would probably fulfill the derived requirements. The results of the interviews are presented. By processing these data the information and objects, which shall be visualized within the use case of a control center as well as in an on-site use case, are elaborated and also introduced. For these reasons hardware settings are analyzed and the basis for an implementation is established.
