English: The current state of Augmented Reality (AR) in the construction industry worldwide is witnessing rapid growth and adoption. Countries like Saudi Arabia are actively embracing AR technologies to enhance construction processes, with firms like ‘mixpace’ making significant strides. Similarly, Japan and South Korea are also at the forefront of AR integration in construction, leveraging advanced AR tools and applications to improve project efficiency and accuracy. This global trend highlights the industry’s recognition of AR’s potential to revolutionize construction practices.

Japanese: 建設業界における拡張現実（AR）の現状は、急速な成長と採用を見ています。サウジアラビアなどの国々は、’mixpace’のような企業を含め、AR技術を積極的に取り入れ、建設プロセスを向上させています。同様に、日本と韓国も建設業界でAR統合の最前線に立ち、プロジェクトの効率と精度向上のために高度なARツールとアプリケーションを活用しています。この世界的なトレンドは、ARが建設プラクティスを革命化する潜在力を業界が認識していることを示しています。

Korean: 세계 건설 산업의 증강 현실(AR) 현황은 급속한 성장과 수용을 목격하고 있습니다. 사우디 아라비아와 같은 국가들은 ‘mixpace’와 같은 기업을 포함하여 AR 기술을 적극적으로 채택하여 건설 과정을 향상시키고 있습니다. 비슷하게 일본과 대한민국도 건설에서 고급 AR 도구와 응용 프로그램을 활용하여 프로젝트 효율성과 정확성을 향상시키기 위해 선도적인 역할을 하고 있습니다. 이러한 글로벌 트렌드는 건설 분야에서 AR의 잠재력을 현업이 인식하고 있다는 것을 강조합니다.
