“…In the vast majority of cases, the programming of the sensor has been carried out, considering individual project specifications due to the lack of standards [ 28 , 29 , 30 ]. The particular solutions developed have been determined to improve specific practices and/or subjects at the teaching or professional level [ 31 , 32 , 33 ], including architecture [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. In all these practices, one key concept of VR systems is the “presence”, which has been defined as “the sense of ‘being’ in the VR world” [ 38 ].…”

The creation and usage of serious games on virtual reality (VR) and/or interactive platforms for the teaching of architecture, construction, urban planning, and other derived areas, such as security and risk prevention, require design processes, studies, and research that lead to further consolidation expansion. In that sense, this paper presents two main aims developed: the improvement of a virtual navigation system through the results of previous user studies and mixed research (quantitative and qualitative) improved based on the user perception for educational and professional uses. The VR system used is based on Unreal Engine programming of the HTC Vive sensor. This study is related to the GAME4City 3.0 and a broader project focused on gamified visualization and its educational uses in architectural and urban projects. The results reflect great interest, good usability, and high motivation for further usage for all types of users. However, an apparent resistance to deepen its use continues to be perceived in academia. Based on the research results, weak points of educational gamified systems have been identified, and the main differences and needs in user profiles’ function. With these data, progress regarding implementing this kind of system at the teaching and professional levels must be pursued.

“…Six papers in urbanism [31,60,85,[105][106][107] and two papers in interior design [65,71] used IVR for design review. Moreover, in design studios, seven papers for design review [2,4,15,26,30,53,119], four papers for 2D drawing/3D modeling [39][40][41]117], and three papers for stakeholder engagement [48,62,118] analyzed IVR. These papers demonstrate that there is an effort in design studios to use IVR as a design and construction support tool.…”

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is considered as an effective and efficient instructional tool for architecture, engineering, construction, operation, and facility management (AECO/FM) education. However, it is essential to systematically evaluate them to obtain consolidated evidence on the impact of IVR applications. Thus, the aim of this article is to present the state‐of‐the‐art on all AECO/FM use cases, including learning theories/models, all key factors, and experimental design, and to suggest future directions for IVR research. This review follows a systematic literature review methodology to analyze 79 papers between 2013 and 2022. The results show that learning theories/models are not sufficiently applied. There is consensus that IVR influences affective factors positively. It is necessary to consider task type, task complexity, virtual environment design, and ergonomics of IVR tools in terms of cognitive factors. Cognitive/affective factors associated with learning performance should be examined in depth to develop more effective learning methods. Future studies should design and conduct experimental procedures with more scientific rigor.
