“…As a result, the concept of object-oriented development is rapidly replacing traditional GIS development methods. The interesting component of spatial data is that they should be maintained in a spatial database system, where object relational databases are preferable to relational databases (Nguyen-Gia et al, 2017).…”

“…It is crucial to have suitable methods for standardizing and structuring the storage of such sets of 3D spatial data models. Interoperability is at the heart of standards, which appear when many organizations need the same data format to address an issue and give instructions on how to check that the data are appropriately formatted for exchange (Liao, 2020;Muthalif et al, 2022). According to Chaturvedi et al (2019), the use of free, open, and global standards such as those offered by the Open Geospatial Consortium helps promote interoperability (OGC).…”

Abstract. Three dimensional (3D) spatial data models have been known as a geographic information system platform for representing the dimensionality of spatial objects with respect to the real world. They can be used to mimmick the real-world objects above the ground, on the ground and underground. A 3D spatial data model that can integrate surface and subsurface elements will have a significant impact on engineering, spatial and urban planning, and the built environment. Such an impact includes good infrastructure development, proper planning, result-oriented installation of utilities, location-specific excavation of existing utilities, and cost-effective economy resulting from minimal damage of infrastructures. This article explores and documents the state-of-the-art with respect to 3D spatial data models specifically for the integration of surface and subsurface objects based on a thorough review of the literature in academic articles, technical reports, and web-based materials. To better understand the scope, this paper reviews the different 3D spatial modelling approach for surface spatial objects, subsurface spatial objects, and with keen focus on surface and subsurface spatial objects integration. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has played an important role in data integration and has a core space in 3D spatial data model evolution. One of the recent data models for such task is CityJSON due to its simplicity in data storage, visualization, manipulation, and data update compared to CityGML. The parameters influencing the choice of models can be attributed to the availability of data structure, applicability, exchange format and relevance. Based on the range of 3D spatial data model reviewed, a unified model is expedient for integration of surface and subsurface spatial objects.

“…In particular, there are several methods to display concealed utilities in AR/MR, which mainly differ in how they provide the perception of depth of the virtual object in relation to the viewer, and therefore in how accurate and intuitive the AR/MR scene is to the user. Muthalif et al [57] focused on the AR/MR visualization of underground pipe utilities and investigated six main display techniques, namely X-ray view, topographic view, shadow view, image rendering, transparent view, and cross-sectional view.…”

The operation and maintenance (O&M) of buildings and infrastructure represent a strategic activity to ensure they perform as expected over time and to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs at the urban and building scale. With the increasing diffusion of BIM, IoT devices, and AI, the future of O&M is represented by digital twin technology. To effectively take advantage of this digital revolution, thus enabling data-driven energy control, proactive maintenance, and predictive daily operations, it is vital that smart building management exploits the opportunities offered by the extended reality (XR) technologies. Nevertheless, in consideration of the novelty of XR in the AECO sector and its rapid and ongoing evolution, knowledge of the specific possibilities and the methods of integration into the building process workflow is still piecemeal and sparse. With the goal to bridge this gap, the article presents a thorough review of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies and applications for smart building operation and maintenance. After defining VR, AR, and MR, the article provides a detailed review that analyzes, categorizes, and summarizes state-of-the-art XR technologies and their possible applications for building O&M along with their relative advantages and disadvantages. The article concludes that the application of XR in building and city management is showing promising results in enhancing human performance in technical O&M tasks, in understanding and controlling the energy efficiency, comfort, and safety of building and infrastructures, and in supporting strategic decision making for the future smart city.
