“…For example, drone is an aerial quadcopter that is armed with video cameras, in construction industry drone enables project managers to monitor the site, maintain the asset and capture images and videos from different positions throughout the worksite [6,7], and virtual reality contains real life images which helps us to analyze building structures in different environmental status or to promote construction safety [8,9]. This paper refers to a Construction digital technology as any type of electronic device that is used for visualization, process, monitoring, tracking and etc.…”

New digital technology has the potential to decrease the environmental footprint of construction activities, while they increase the productivity and safety involved in major construction projects. Digital technologies such as web-based building information modelling (BIM) and sensing technology are emerging technology that can be widely employed in construction projects in developing countries. However, the construction industry tends to be slow in adopting new digital technology to meet their objectives in developing countries. This paper aims to investigate construction technology readiness for utilization of digital technology in construction projects and to identify the factors that can potentially facilitate construction stockholders' application of digital technology.A questionnaire is designed, and an empirical investigation is conducted to collect data from construction companies including industrial and infrastructure construction companies. Regression analysis was utilized to analyze the data to measure the relations of latent factors through significance values using SPSS. The findings show the importance of a series of factors influencing construction stakeholders' intention to use a new digital technology. Based on the extensive review on the relevant literature, few empirical studies have been conducted to examine the proposed constructs including innovativeness and optimism for emerging digital technology. The results are also expected to provide a guidance to broaden understanding of adoption behavior within this context and thereby increasing the chances for successful adoption of sustainable technology and develop activity-level.

“…Task analyses were conducted with domain experts actively involved in collecting designer needs and making usability studies (Setareh, Bowman, & Kalita, 2005). Results from the task analyses were used for functional decomposition and composition, a common method in design disciplines (Schön, 1983;Simon, 1981;see Figure 2).…”

Few production virtual environment (VE) applications involve complex threedimensional (3D) interaction. Our long-term collaboration with architects and engineers in designing 3D user interfaces (3D UIs) has revealed some of the causes: existing interaction tasks and/or techniques are either too generic when isolated from the application context, or too specific to be reusable. We propose a new design approach called domain-specific design (DSD) that sits between the generic and specific design approaches, with an emphasis on using domain knowledge in 3D interaction techniques. We also describe an interaction design framework encompassing generic, domain-specific, and application-specific interaction tasks and techniques. This framework can be used by designers to think of ways to produce domain-specific interaction techniques. We present a particular DSD method, and demonstrate its use for the design of cloning techniques in a structural engineering application.Results from empirical studies demonstrate that interaction techniques produced with domain knowledge in mind outperformed other techniques by improving task efficiency, work flow, and usefulness of the 3D UI.

“…VR-based training has been used with varied successes in many industries such as fire-fighter training, mine safety training, safe procedure in surgical training, security in refineries, safe equipment operation, and civil engineering education. Specifically within the construction industry, VR technology has been used for constructability analysis of precast concrete structural analysis application development [3], electrical design and installation [4], construction prototyping.…”
