Exploring Virtual Reality in Construction, Visualization and Building Performance Analysis
2018
In the past two decades, the Architecture,
Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry has
investigated different approaches to improve
communication among project parties, including
Virtual reality (VR) however these approaches have
not been widely adopted by the industry.
Today, the tremendous advancements in
technologies and computer hardware have potentially
improved the current approaches and enabled a
significant enhancement of user experience of Virtual
reality (VR) devices. Based on that the researchers
have conducted a review to investigate the global VR
applications research in (AEC) community in 2015-
2017 to understand the status and the trend of
immersive virtual reality (IVR) research in the world
using these affordable devices.
This paper also presents a result of an experiment
to integrate three different types of AEC digital
modeling data and proposed workflows for IVR
applications in construction, visualization and
building performance analysis. The experiment deals
with construction simulation, rapid generation of the
VR scene for existing building and airflow
visualization. Several workflows investigated game
engine and VR tools have been used
