Exploring Opportunities for Integrating BIM and sensors for Construction Projects.
Live data visualization of IoT sensors using Augmented Reality (AR)/VR and BIM is the need for the industry. AEC Industry has started adopting new technologies to drive the digital transformation of the construction sector. Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are a few of Industry 4.0 technologies that are advancing various industries including the construction industry. VR applications are explored in construction design, planning phase and very limited applications are explored towards construction execution phase such as Risk Management, 4D Planning, for Safety and training purpose. There is a need for identifying the value of VR game in the construction industry and education with value adoption. The study is based on research question “Does VR/AR/Mixed reality a dynamic game engine simulation have the potential to become a viable educational and training tool in the construction execution phase?”. To conclude, an effective framework designed and developed in form of a VR/AR game application to test the value of a VR game for three execution modules of quality control, lean application, and material management and supply chain for education and training tool.
