“…In addition, researchers utilized VR to improve construction safety. Researchers have developed a safety training program using VR and generated personalized feedback for the participants to improve safety training outcomes [53,54]. The outcomes indicate that safety training programs that utilize VR technology provide high fidelity simulations for the workers.…”

With advances in Building Information Modeling (BIM), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies have many potential applications in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. However, the AEC industry, relative to other industries, has been slow in adopting AR/VR technologies, partly due to lack of feasibility studies examining the actual cost of implementation versus an increase in profit. The main objectives of this paper are to understand the industry trends in adopting AR/VR technologies and identifying gaps within the industry. The identified gaps can lead to opportunities for developing new tools and finding new use cases. To achieve these goals, two rounds of a survey at two different time periods (a year apart) were conducted. Responses from 158 industry experts and researchers were analyzed to assess the current state, growth, and saving opportunities for AR/VR technologies for the AEC industry. The findings demonstrate that older generations are significantly more confident about the future of AR/VR technologies and they see more benefits in AR/VR utilization. Furthermore, the research results indicate that Residential and commercial sectors have adopted these tools the most, compared to other sectors and institutional and transportation sectors had the highest growth from 2017 to 2018. Industry experts anticipated a solid growth in the use of AR/VR technologies in 5 to 10 years, with the highest expectations towards healthcare. Ultimately, the findings show a significant increase in AR/VR utilization in the AEC industry from 2017 to 2018.

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are advanced technologies that can provide significant advantages to the construction industry. In recent years, many researchers have focused on implementing AR and VR technologies in the construction project management domain, where these technologies have shown a significant contribution to the advancement of the construction project management aspects in many areas. However, there is a lack of a structured review that synthesizes the existing body of knowledge about the implementation of AR and VR technologies in the various aspects of construction project management. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap via conducting a scoping review on the application areas of AR and VR technologies in construction project management. Ninety-four studies retrieved from peer-review journals and conference proceedings were included, reviewed, and analyzed. The studies were classified according to publication date, publication venue, study design, and geographical location. The main features of AR and VR systems, including the display method, interaction device, spatial registration method, and level of immersion, were identified and discussed. The application areas of each technology were thematically analyzed and classified under main topics, where the results revealed seven application areas for AR technology and five application areas for VR in the construction project management aspects.

“…The 360VP enhances the real-world learning environment by presenting the dynamic nature of construction sites in reality to improve the hazard investigation knowledge skills of construction students and professionals. Furthermore, 360VP has demonstrated improvements in not only hazard education and training [45], but also energy-efficiency [19]. Since VR or 360VP have their own limitations, researches have tried to integrate some VR technologies in order to enhance the advantages of these VR technologies so that hazard education and training can be improved.…”

Construction Hazard Investigation Leveraging Object Anatomization on an Augmented Photoreality Platform

Hazard investigation education plays a crucial role in equipping students with adequate knowledge and skills to avoid or eliminate construction hazards at workplaces. With the emergence of various visualization technologies, virtual photoreality as well as 3D virtual reality have been adopted and proved advantageous to various educational disciplines. Despite the significant benefits of providing an engaging and immersive learning environment to promote construction education, recent research has also pointed out that virtual photoreality lacks a 3D object anatomization tools to support learning, while 3D-virtual reality cannot provide a real-world environment. In recent years, research efforts have studied virtual reality applications separately, and there is a lack of research integrating these technologies to overcome limitations and maximize advantages for enhancing learning outcomes. In this regard, the paper develops a construction hazard investigation system leveraging object anatomization on an Interactive Augmented Photoreality platform (iAPR). The proposed iAPR system integrates virtual photoreality with 3D-virtual reality. The iAPR consists of three key learning modules, namely Hazard Understanding Module (HUM), Hazard Recognition Module (HRM), and Safety Performance Module (SPM), which adopt the revised Bloom's taxonomy theory. A prototype is developed and evaluated objectively through interactive system trials with educators, construction professionals, and learners. The findings demonstrate that the iAPR platform has significant pedagogic methods to improve learner's construction hazard investigation knowledge and skills, which improve safety performance.
