Summary + Thesis:

XYZ Atom is a augmented reality (AR) headset that  features advanced spatial mapping and real-time object recognition. According to XYZ Reality (2025), the XYZ Atom AR headset is packaged into lightweight, ergonomic headsets designed to reduce fatigue even during extended use, using its robust software platform to enable seamless customization and system integration. With high-performance graphics and low-latency interactions, the technology offers an immersive experience, setting a global standard for all AR applications, specifically in smart constructions, where precision, conceptualization, and efficiency are essential. According to XR Today (2023), AR is transforming industries such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, and entertainment by solving complex challenges in ways only AR is capable of. (Summary)

To maintain Singapore's position as a global leader in smart construction, the government should subsidize the adoption of the XYZ Reality Atom AR headset across the construction industry, utilising its ability to improve precision, reduce rework and enhancing conceptualisation will significantly boost productivity, lower costs and inspire innovation. (Thesis)

Support #1:

(Improving Visualisation)

The XYZ Reality Atom headset can improve construction precision and accuracy by overlaying millimeter-perfect Building Information Modeling (BIM) holograms onto physical worksites. This ensures that projects are built according to exact specifications, reducing human errors and eliminating costly rework, which benefits both project timelines and overall resource efficiency ensuring that buildings can be built way faster.

Support #2:

(More Efficient Communication)

Subsidizing the technology will lead to significant cost savings for construction companies by streamlining workflows and automating processes. The enhanced communication provided by the headset allows teams to address potential issues during the conceptual phase, reducing delays and improving productivity, which ultimately lowers the cost of infrastructure projects.

Support #3:

(Follow Singapore Vision)

The adoption of the XYZ Reality Atom headset aligns with Singapore’s vision of becoming a smart nation and a leader in technological innovation. By introducing this cutting-edge technology, Singapore can inspire innovation in the construction sector, attract foreign investors, and position itself as a global hub for advanced construction practices.

Counterargument:

(Cost)

Critics may argue that subsidizing such technology could impose a significant financial burden on the government or may benefit only larger construction companies. However, the long-term economic advantages, including reduced project costs, enhanced sustainability, and higher global competitiveness, outweigh the initial investment. Moreover, subsidies can be scaled to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), ensuring equitable access across the industry.

Conclusion:

By providing subsidies for the XYZ Reality Atom (AR), the Singaporean government can drive significant improvements in construction precision, productivity, and innovation. This investment in XYZ Reality Atom (AR) will not only reduce costs and strengthen the nation’s infrastructure but also solidify Singapore’s position as a global leader in smart construction.

Subject: Formal letter of introduction Dear Professor Blackstone, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Jonathan Tay, and I am excited to be part of your Critical thinking and communication class this trimester. I would like to introduce myself and share more about my background, communication skills, and goals for this module. I started out in ITE college central with civil engineering, followed by Singapore Polytechnic again with civil engineering and finally SIT with civil engineering, totaling five years. Over the years, I found a deeper understanding and appreciation for civil engineering and more specifically drafting. I love to draw buildings and watch them take shape from a simple 2d drawing to full sized building that will eventually get built which will be a testament to my hard work. Regarding my communication skills, one of my strengths is my ability to easily talk to others. I enjoy meeting new people and expanding my network, and it really shows during gro...

  "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." ~Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Jonathan agrees with the statement as he’s had experience with a group leader that was unable to communicate effectively thus slowing down the rate of progress at which his project could progress. Benjamin agrees with the statement, as he believes communication is key for a team to complete any work. If a team leader does not properly convey what is expected of the team for a project, the members will not be able to work together effectively.
