“…Other published studies [33,34] have employed a 3D model displayed on a monitor or a screen, in which the participants either passively followed a predetermined route or attempted to complete a particular navigation task. However, some studies have attempted to compare users, behavior, or performance in a real environment [35] with a VR version of the environment.…”

Wayfinding is the process of navigating the environment by using the available environmental cues. The issue of wayfinding difficulty in large healthcare facilities has grabbed the attention of many researchers in terms of its potential taxing effects on both users and institutions alike. While the challenge of regulating the process of designing wayfinding systems is still an active field of investigation, there has been a paucity of research addressing the challenge of distributing way-showing items based on users’ performance within healthcare environments. This study proposes a wayfinding enhancement scheme whereby users’ wayfinding performance data forms the basis of the process of distributing way-showing items within an outpatient unit in Malaysia. Furthermore, two virtual reality experiments were carried out, the first representing the existing wayfinding system and the second representing the new distribution. A cross-comparison between the two sets of results was conducted to evaluate the effect resulting from altering the as-built wayfinding system. The results indicated an overall reduction of time consumed to reach the same destinations as well as lesser distances traveled within the environment resulting from the implementation of the new distribution. This study puts forward the concept of implementing virtual reality environments to address wayfinding systems’ design challenges in healthcare facilities rather than relying on designers’ intuition.

“…Pham et al [89] [35,96,97]. Paes and Irizarry [98] evaluated the usability of immersive VR technology as a visualization tool for design review from the users' standpoint. The results revealed the efficiency of VR in communicating design ideas and enhancing the communication in design review meetings among stakeholders.…”

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.

As immersive analytics continues to grow as a discipline,so too should its underlying methodological support. Taxonomies play an important role for information visualization and human computer interaction. They provide an organization of the techniques used in a particular domain that better enable researchers to describe their work, discover existing methods, and identify gaps in the literature. Existing taxonomies in related fields do not capture or describe the unique paradigms employed in immersive analytics. We conceptualize a taxonomy that organizes immersive analytics according to two dimensions: spatial and visual presentation. Each intersection of this taxonomy represents a unique design paradigm which, when thoroughly explored, can aid in the design and research of new immersive analytic applications.
