Building information modeling, or BIM is a term frequently employed in the architecture, engineering, and construction and operations (AECO) industry nowadays. BIM is widely accepted not only for the planning and construction phases of AECO projects, but also the maintenance phase for Facility Management. On the other side, Augmented Reality, as an emerging technology is considered having great potential to be applied in AECO context. However, how to combine BIM and AR technology together to design a practical solution for Facility Management is a challenging work. Most of the previous works either focus on specific type of user scenario or with various kind of limitation or compromise. The goal of this project is to find out a practical Augmented Reality solution for Facility Management context, with the support of BIM. In this project, in parallel with a careful user study and requirement analysis following User-Centered-Design process, a comprehensive technical evaluation is performed for selecting the proper tools and technology. Based on the result of both tracks, we designed concepts and the technical solution, which includes both intuitive user interfaces and an architecture with good maintainability and extendibility. In the end, we performed an evaluation and discussed about the limitation and possible future improvement.
