...Kun Wang; Maxwell Fordjour Antwi-Afari; Beatrice Mensimah Ossei-Gudom; Wen Yi; Jue Li; Saeed Banihashemi Purpose To improve construction safety management, the application of virtual reality ( VR ) has been demonstrated for workers’ safety training and hazard recognition. Although previous review...

... developed to evaluate hazard identification skills. Support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were applied to assess these strategies. Virtual reality simulations were used to gather eye-tracking data and evaluate hazard identification. Findings The SVM and ANN models...

... environment to analyze the proposed virtual reality-technology acceptance model (VR-TAM) factors. Further, a questionnaire survey was conducted with the participation of 102 construction professionals in China to validate the proposed VR-TAM model and PTM tool. The retrieved data was computed to test...

... interviews. Originality/value The contributions of the present study are twofold: a proposal for a virtual reality openBIM framework is presented, particularly for the semantic enrichment of BIM models, and a methodology for evaluating the usability of this type of system in the AECO sector. Hilfert...

... for the contractor to execute certain activities with the contingency of other project elements. The virtual reality (VR) technology was used to provide additional data, communicate the contingency impact of other project elements on specific activities and provide sequential execution data to the contractors...

... management. It was found that virtual reality was the most used XR tool with most of its application dedicated to safety training in the design phase. The amount of research on the application of augmented reality and mixed reality in safety training, and risk management in all phases of lifecycle is still...

... complex projects. With the advent of Industry 4.0, a trend is noted to create a digital communication environment between stakeholders. Identified as a central technology in Industry 4.0, virtual reality (VR) has the potential to supplement current communication and facilitate the digitization of the AEC...

... environment. Key words: hybrid concrete construction; performance measurement; prototyping; simulation; virtual reality Introduction Hybrid concrete construction (HCC) is ostensibly the combination of in situ concrete with precast concrete, steelwork or other materials (Goodchild, 2001). It offers users...

...Jennifer Whyte; Dino Bouchlaghem Use of new technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), is important to corporations, yet understanding of their successful implementation is insufficiently developed. In this paper a case study is used to analyse the introduction of VR use in a British housebuilding...
