Implementing Virtual and Augmented Reality in BIM for Design Accuracy and Project Efficiency
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is rapidly evolving through the adoption of immersive technologies. This course offers a technical and research-based overview of how Building Information Modeling (BIM) integrates with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to support advanced design visualization, improve stakeholder collaboration, and reduce construction errors.
Participants will examine practical applications of VR/AR throughout the project lifecycle, including design review processes, clash detection, and client engagement. The course also addresses the organizational and technological challenges associated with adopting immersive solutions in BIM-enabled environments.
Drawing on international case studies and current academic research, this course provides actionable strategies for professionals aiming to incorporate immersive technologies into their BIM workflows.
