“…Researchers define the ability to acquire knowledge that involves rich information through reasoning and perception. Human cognition involves gathering information and developing experiences from their interactions with the environment, as shown in Figure 1 [49]. Every human perceives, processes, and creates a mental portrayal of their particular reality.…”

Virtual reality (VR) can potentially enhance various design and construction assessment intensive tasks, such as construction design and review. However, it may lead to cognitive overload, adversely affecting the participants’ performance. It is critical to understand the effects of VR cognitive behavior for implementing VR technology in the construction industry. The principal objective of this study was to investigate the participants’ cognitive load (CL), task performance (TP), and situational awareness (SA) in the VR environment for the evaluation of building design review tasks. Participants were asked to review the design task based on their memory knowledge and understanding in one of the three environments: paper-based, monitor-based, and immersive virtual environment. Participants’ CL was measured using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA TLX), TP was evaluated on completion time and the number of errors correctly detected, and situational awareness (SA) was assessed using the Situational Awareness and Review Technique (SART). The statistical results show a high CL and better performance in the immersive virtual environment. These findings can contribute to a better understanding of cognitive process characteristics and capabilities for design review activities in the VR environment.

“…Within Human Factors, virtual reality is currently being used in a variety of applications; particularly in the building design process. According to Paes and Irizarry (2016), virtual reality is one of three main components in the building design process. Virtual reality brings together knowledge of representation through presence while Hhuman Ffactors brings data gathering, data analysis, and cognition foci on information processing and synthesis (figure 2).…”

Research into the viability of virtual reality (VR) systems goes back nearly five decades. Even so, Human Factors researchers utilizing this type of technology are by most estimates still relatively rare in the field. The following paper focuses on how virtual reality technology is evolving into a viable tool during the research process. A brief background followed by an overview of the major terminology relating to VR is followed by human factors related applications for use. The paper concludes by discussing how VR can be used in education and specific research being conducted to examine metacognitive skills for engineering students.

“…In this way, internet not only constitutes a communication tool, but also offers search processing and transmission of information, offering a complex global space for social and educational action. Paes & Irizarry (2016) declare that human factors, cognitive aspects related to the use of technological tools, and virtual reality systems, contribute to improve the learning of creative thinking and decision making in design. The authors claim that models based on virtual environments built in virtual reality can support the communication of information and learning, as well as highlight relevant aspects of the context one attempts to represent, preserving or communicating an idea in particular.…”

The use of technological tools is increasing rapidly, especially, in design field. This paper discusses the relevant factors of interaction design associated to the use of new technologies. The research has explored the potential of using virtual reality system to discusses the role substantial that designers must be consider such as: cognitive aspects, human factors, as well as use of new strategic tools to improvement the user experience. Particularly, in the implications for the development of interactive technologies based Immersive virtual reality environment. Through a bibliographic review, provide theoretical elements to development of virtual environments constructed to enhance the communication of information to a better engagement in the experience to its visitors. Therefore, also describes principles for systems based on a user-centered approach, the impact of interaction design in the context of information communication for immersive virtual reality (VR) systems allowing investigating the methods to enhance systems based in the user experience.
