Keywords: augmented reality, construction industry, information technology, smart glass.

Abstract: Augmented reality is one of the innovative technologies that will provide significant benefits to construction project applications in the future. In this study, an augmented reality system is developed for improving construction project activities. By using this system, construction workers, equipment operators, engineers and managers can follow each step of the construction activities that they are responsible for. Users can access necessary information about training materials and construction methods related to the construction works. Thus, construction engineers and workers can learn the correct methods of project activities and prevent themselves to make wrong productions. The system is tested in ceramic tile installation. It has been proposed that the system can improve the quality and productivity of construction activities and therefore provide significant contributions to the construction industry.
