These tools allow for the simulation and testing of projects even before construction begins, thereby reducing costly unforeseen issues on job sites. He also highlights the rise of augmented reality glasses, which make 3D visualization more intuitive, simplify building navigation, and improve understanding of plans. These technologies are democratizing access to sophisticated tools for a broader range of professionals.

Finally, Professor Boton reminds us that the major challenges are not only technological but also human: overcoming resistance to change, updating existing standards, and adapting regulatory frameworks to incorporate these innovations.
