| Superscript | : | Superhero spotted! |
| Agent Cindy | : | Our intelligence reveals that there is a superhero here |
| Agent Cindy | : | Just over there |
| Engineer | : | Should be no problem here |
| Engineer | : | The wires on the ceiling and the conduits in the wall are fine too |
| Agent Cindy | : | Why are they so sure of what is inside the wall? Does she possess the superpower to see hidden objects? |
| Agent Cindy | : | Are you the one with superpower as reported by the intelligence? |
| Engineer | : | Superpower? Do you mean this? |
| Agent Cindy | : | Oh, it's 5G |
| Superscript | : | Ms Tracy YEUNG Digital Consultant Arup |
| Engineer | : | Yes, this is a 3D BIM (Building Information Modelling) application that incorporates 5G technology |
| Superscript | : | BIM - Building Information Modelling |
| Engineer | : | BIM is dedicated to engineering design, construction and facility management It allows digitalisation of massive amount of construction information |
| Engineer | : | It supports 3D modelling and AR (Augmented Reality) which facilitate the planning, design, construction and management of construction works |
| Agent Cindy | : | What does this have to do with 5G? |
| Engineer | : | Given the huge file size of the BIM model, the requirement for network speed and latency is very high In the past, we could only use BIM on desktop computers |
| Engineer | : | The characteristic of ultra-high speed and low latency of 5G supports using BIM on mobile devices smoothly |
| Engineer | : | Engineering team and their clients can conduct a joint site visit with real-time access to the 3D models on the cloud facilitating them to communicate and make modifications instantly as necessary |
| Agent Cindy | : | So, with 5G they can save a lot of time going back and forth between the office and the site which enhances work efficiency |
| Engineer | : | Exactly. The application also has AR function which can directly display the 3D model on site This makes engineers easier to monitor the construction works and deal with possible problems in time which helps shorten the construction period and reduce the cost |
| Engineer | : | When the construction is near completion, AR can assist in building inspection such as directly displaying how the conduits are distributed on the ceiling |
| Agent Cindy | : | 5G is truly unrivalled! I should turn to explore the potentials of 5G and see how far and how amazing 5G applications can achieve |
