What We Do
XYZ Reality is on a mission to eliminate rework and is pioneering the AEC sector with the world’s most accurate Augmented Reality (AR) headset, the Atom. Harnessing the power of the Atom, construction teams can now view and position holograms of BIM on-site to 5mm accuracy, validate in real-time and make immediate decisions in the field during all phases of construction. This cutting-edge tool makes the entire construction journey safer and more efficient, reducing waste, de-risking processes, and allowing construction teams to build it right, first time. Winner of the prestigious award for ‘Mission Critical Tech Innovation’ at DCD Global 2022 Awards and awarded the accolade for ‘Digital innovation in on-site productivity’ at the Digital Construction Awards, XYZ Reality is focused on making the lives of all construction teams easier. Manage build quality, drive project deliverables, and accelerate data visibility through a single fully-managed service. When accuracy is everything, there’s XYZ!
