The effect of using virtual reality technology for medical buildings construction

Abstract EN

Building information management process creates a great development over the well-known traditional ways of construction.

however, despite the noticeable changes offered to architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) field, there are still some obvious barriers in usage.

lately, virtual reality (VR) technology has been presented, it is a connection between the physical and virtual world under the umbrella of cyber-space that effectively tracks the brain to believe of its availability and suspension to the virtual life.

this is considered an extension of building information management platform that visualizes an interactive virtual world after creating and manipulating design data.

using VR has a privilege of providing better decision-making and management between projects’ stakeholders during the construction process.

therefore, the main aim of the research is to develop a methodology to involve virtual reality technology in construction projects to facilitate different disciplines' coordination and visualization through interaction with the building 3d virtual model.
