EPISODE 399: Are you tired of dealing with project delays and inaccuracies in construction?

In this week’s episode, my co-host Charlie Dunn and I sit down with Dave Mitchell, the founder and CEO of XYZ Reality.

XYZ Reality specializes in augmented reality solutions for construction and real-time project controls.

After spending numerous years in the field, Dave grew increasingly frustrated with the limitations of constructing from 2D drawings. His frustration sparked the vision of holographic representations in construction.

In collaboration with a tech specialist in 2015, Dave and his team successfully developed Construction AR (augmented reality) technology, which is now used worldwide.

Today, Dave shares his journey in revolutionizing construction through his AR technology. Discover how XYZ Reality’s technology fosters collaboration, enhances on-site productivity, eliminates inaccuracies, and streamlines project costs.
