What are the possible future advantages of Revit/ BIM?

BIM and Revit has been a great help in the design and visualization of modern infrastructure. The use of BIM programs has allowed designers to see how multiple systems interact with each other and to make connections between two 2D planes. For example, AutoCAD works primarily with 2D planes where a designer draws something on a x-y plane  for the North elevation of a building and then a separate page for East elevation for the building. Revit allows the connection between these two planes and adds a 3-Dimensional perspective on the whole building. This is something that many designers and design companies are converting to in order to become more efficient with the integration of multiple systems.

I believe that Revit is only a template of what BIM programs can become. With the integration of rising technologies such as 3D printing, 3D Virtual holographic interfaces, and motion tracking interfaces, BIM design can grow to even greater hights. Revit and other BIM programs may also allow for a more complicated designs with the use of modern product design such as structural glass that is stronger than steel and 3D printing of concrete for more complicated shapes and demands.
