Abstract EN
Recent building emergency management research has highlighted the need for the effective utilization of dynamically changing building information.
BIM (building information modelling) can play a significant role in this process due to its comprehensive and standardized data format and integrated process.
This paper introduces a BIM based virtual environment supported by virtual reality (VR) and a serious game engine to address several key issues for building emergency management, for example, timely two-way information updating and better emergency awareness training.
The focus of this paper lies on how to utilize BIM as a comprehensive building information provider to work with virtual reality technologies to build an adaptable immersive serious game environment to provide real-time fire evacuation guidance.
The innovation lies on the seamless integration between BIM and a serious game based virtual reality (VR) environment aiming at practical problem solving by leveraging state-of-the-art computing technologies.
The system has been tested for its robustness and functionality against the development requirements, and the results showed promising potential to support more effective emergency management.
