AR can assist in understanding and visualising site conditions and sub-surface infrastructure. Once the hurdle of accurate registration is resolved, surveyors will be able to use a virtual projection similar to that shown in this video to precisely indicate where each component of a future building will be installed; or locate pre-existing subsurface assets when on site.
My understanding is that this aspect of AR is largely theoretical at this stage- please let me know if you know otherwise!
