Virtual Reality in Design, Construction, and Maintenance

What is the future of VR in our industry? Collaborative Communication / Design & Issue Resolution Modify and Manipulate Model Data in VR Safety Planning & Site Logistics Schedule Optimization & Progress Monitoring

Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) DEFINITION A computer-generated virtual simulation that is experienced through Head Mounted Displays (HMD) and other input/output devices.

Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) KEY FEATURES Block the real world, provides immersive experience in virtual world

Augmented Reality (AR) KEY FEATURE Overlay virtual world on the real world based on software settings, e.g., location information

Mixed Reality (MR) KEY FEATURE Overlay virtual world on the real world based on technology understanding of the real world
