During this edition of May 17, Grégory Maubon, vice-president of the Ra'pro association, will lead the first round table, which will ask the question of the effectiveness of virtual reality and augmented reality as technology facilitating construction operations. At his side, Mehdi Hafsia, Research Engineer at Bouygues Construction, Jérome Sens, market manager at Saint-Gobain Weber, Alexandre Bouchet, director of the Laval Virtual Day partner, CLARTE, and Anthony Hacques, co-founder of Inod, will act as as experts in the sector.
During a second round table, Grégory Maubon will propose to take an interest in the usefulness of virtual reality as a means of preparing for a maintenance operation. Augmented reality will be approached from an angle. Yann Bouju, VR and AR project manager at DCNS, Sébastien Kuntz, CEO of MiddleVR, Philippe David, Innovation and Research project manager at SNCF and Julien Barthes, sales manager at DIOTA will be around the table to give their opinions on customers and users of these technologies.
Finally, the Laval Virtual Day on May 17 will end with a presentation of the demonstrations, allowing participants to take control of the technologies that will, perhaps from tomorrow, reinvent the construction and maintenance sector.
