Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are advanced technologies that can provide significant advantages to the construction industry. In recent years, many researchers have focused on implementing AR and VR technologies in the construction project management domain, where these technologies have shown a significant contribution to the advancement of the construction project management aspects in many areas. However, there is a lack of a structured review that synthesizes the existing body of knowledge about the implementation of AR and VR technologies in the various aspects of construction project management. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap via conducting a scoping review on the application areas of AR and VR technologies in construction project management. Ninety-four studies retrieved from peer-review journals and conference proceedings were included, reviewed, and analyzed. The studies were classified according to publication date, publication venue, study design, and geographical location. The main features of AR and VR systems, including the display method, interaction device, spatial registration method, and level of immersion, were identified and discussed. The application areas of each technology were thematically analyzed and classified under main topics, where the results revealed seven application areas for AR technology and five application areas for VR in the construction project management aspects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
