The first episode of AEC Tech TV went live on 3 September 2020. The construction technology video magazine show is co-presented by Extranet Evolution editor Paul Wilkinson and Aarni Heiskanen of Finland-based AEC Business (see Covering the contech space: AECTech.TV).
AEC Tech TV episode 1
Topics covered in the first show included contributions from Europe, the United States and Australasia:
- immersive collaborative virtual reality (VR)
- the UK IET report “Good Data for the Common Good” (EE post)
- Building information modelling (BIM) for FM
- the challenges of running a virtual AEC Hackathon, and
- Bimspot.io, an Austrian BIM technology startup.
Audience reaction to the first show has been positive, and a stream of contribution enquiries has started to flow. Heiskanen, right, says he has already recorded two items for the second episode with further recordings scheduled ahead of the next release: on 10 September 2020.
“This is a new venture and we learned a lot in creating the first show,” Wilkinson says. “There were a few rough edges, but we aim to get more polished as we expand our knowledge and work with new contributors on existing and new content slots.”
