“…However, the findings still pointed out that AR displays had similar mental burden compared with paper layout. At the same time, the previous research (Qin et al 2021) indicated that AR display can be a good fit for improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. Considering these premises, AR displays still have the potential to be a usable information presentation method for wood frame assembly task.…”

“…In essence, AR applications utilized this capability to improve productivity and performance in assembly tasks. On the basis of these precursor research, AR has been applied in more practical situations, such as conduit construction (Chalhoub and Ayer, 2018), implementing free-form modular surface (Fazel and Izadi, 2018), manual bricklaying (Mitterberger et al, 2020), and wood frame assembly (Qin et al, 2021). These studies examined the usability of AR for various practical tasks and compared the performance with traditional 2D printed manuals, of which the findings supported the improvement of task efficiency and accuracy by AR displays.…”

“…As a visualization technology that connects virtual objects and the physical world, AR can meet the demands of a wide range of on-site construction tasks that require access to instructional information, collaboration, and inspection in various construction tasks. Although the number of studies about AR applications for construction are increasing, there is still an essential need to develop a comprehensive AR visualization system to enhance its usability (Qin et al, 2021;Qin and Bulbul, 2022). An intuitive natural user interface is paramount for using AR in the field (Chi et al, 2013;Rankohi and Waugh, 2013), and a portable and immersive device would be a desired AR display due to the dynamic environment of construction site.…”

“…In addition to paper documentation, two AR displays were designed to help in understanding how different display types could affect workers' cognitive skills with the same restriction of FOV. Given our previous work examining the impact on framing efficiency and accuracy (Qin et al, 2021), this study explored the cognitive analysis for adopting AR HMD in various framing conditions.…”

Advances in the development of Augmented Reality (AR) hardware and software allow for novel opportunities to positively influence the traditional construction industry. Recent research studied the feasibility of various AR devices for supporting construction assembly tasks, however, there is limited work examining the usability of AR head-mounted display (HMD) in relation to construction workers’ cognitive skills such as situation awareness. This study evaluated three information display types (paper blueprint, tag-along image and conformal model) during wood frame assembly of three different scales (small, medium, and large) to investigate how AR HMDs impact user’s situation awareness with respect to mental workload. Eighteen construction engineering students were recruited in a within-subjects experiment. The findings showed no significant difference in both the mental workload and the situation awareness for all three display types, suggesting that AR displays did not generate significant excessive mental burden or distractions on users in comparison to traditional paper-based information. Specifically comparing the AR displays, the results revealed that user’s mental workload was affected by field of view (FOV) restriction in AR HMD, whereas situation awareness wasn’t impacted.

“…The successful implementation of AR technology in assembly tasks reduced assembly time required by over 80%, positively impacting construction productivity (Chalhoub and Ayer, 2019; Kwiatek et al , 2019). The release of Microsoft HoloLens also enabled the omittance of physical markers (Dallasega et al , 2021), further improving the usability of this AR/MR technology in assembly tasks (Bademosi et al , 2019; Chalhoub et al , 2021; Chalhoub and Ayer, 2018; Deshpande and Kim, 2018; Qin et al , 2021; Wang et al , 2021). Besides that, offsite production time also decreased with the integration of AR/MR technology and robots, decreasing the overall project completion time (Amtsberg et al , 2021; Tavares et al , 2019; Xiang et al , 2021).…”

Purpose In recent years, deep learning and extended reality (XR) technologies have gained popularity in the built environment, especially in construction engineering and management. A significant amount of research efforts has been thus dedicated to the automation of construction-related activities and visualization of the construction process. The purpose of this study is to investigate potential research opportunities in the integration of deep learning and XR technologies in construction engineering and management. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a literature review of 164 research articles published in Scopus from 2006 to 2021, based on strict data acquisition criteria. A mixed review method, consisting of a scientometric analysis and systematic review, is conducted in this study to identify research gaps and propose future research directions. Findings The proposed research directions can be categorized into four areas, including realism of training simulations; integration of visual and audio-based classification; automated hazard detection in head-mounted displays (HMDs); and context awareness in HMDs. Originality/value This study contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying the necessity of integrating deep learning and XR technologies in facilitating the construction engineering and management process.
