Bimar Web Application For Island Reclamation Project

Abstract

Industry 4.0 has lately become a popular term to describe the industrial world's trend toward digitalization and automation. The problem statement had been identified by using one set of pre-project questionnaires which involved 10 respondents. Based on the collected data, the analysis shows that the use of 2D drawing (which includes the limited information and less collaboration) and a lack of 3D modeling visualization causes misunderstanding and poor communication during the project presentation in the design phase. The scope of this study is an Island Reclamation Project located in the sea area near the
south of Penang Island. The aim of this study is to develop a web-based application for project model viewers called the BIMAR Web application. The BIMAR Web application integrates Building Information Modelling with Augmented Reality. BIMAR Web application provides a better impact especially for a better understanding and visualization during project presentation. There is a total of 8 items that test the effectiveness of the BIMAR Web application that reported a mean score of more than 4.87 which gets a high interpretation. For the overall BIMAR Web application experience, the data analysis shows the standard deviation value of 0.000 which is categorized as the perfect agreement interpretation by using Cohen’s Kappa interpretation table. BIMAR Web application is user-friendly and effective for project presentations.
