Nature planning also needs VR: with the help of VR, AR and 3D planning, more and more gardens and landscapes are being made even more beautiful.
Digitalisation is also becoming increasingly important in gardening and landscaping (GaLaBau). "Especially when redesigning and creating a garden, visual media are becoming more and more important so that customers can experience their garden," informed the Hesse-Thuringia Garden, Landscape and Sports Ground Construction Association. Digital surveying and recording is also already a proven tool in construction site management, it said. "We assume that digitalisation will open up new markets for our landscaping companies and ensure competitiveness."
"Digitisation is not new and has already found its way into industry in the 1970s, but with the Internet of Things there is now change again, so you can talk about a GalaBau 4.0," said Lucas Winkler, speaker at the Thuringian Horticulture and Landscaping Day.
While some aspects such as digital and networked notebooks are already part of everyday life, other technologies have so far only been used for large orders. "3D planning and virtual reality are already being used, but they are very expensive, so they are usually only worthwhile for companies with a certain order volume.
Looking to the future even before the groundbreaking ceremony
Such aids are primarily used by private customers, because in public tenders, for example by municipalities, the plans are usually already clear. With the help of virtual reality glasses, customers can get an idea of what their garden could look like later.
Virtual trees, hedges and co.
The same applies to augmented reality models. A tablet or smartphone is enough to make virtual trees, hedges and other elements in a garden visible on the display.
Networked machines could also send data showing when maintenance is due. In excavation, a virtual 3D machine control could increase precision and save work steps, says Winkler.
