“…In addition, multiple tasks in a principal–agent experiment (Fehr & Schmidt, 2004) offer insight into how the principal–agent relationship is applicable in the gaming situation modeling authority and followers, including the conflicting missions of the principal and agent (Fraja & Delbono, 1990). Explanations of the organization of transactions within a game have been used to agency theory to describe influences and implications of the principal and agent relationship (Figueres-Munoz & Merschbrock, 2015; Thavikulwat, Chang, & Sanford, 2013). These influences within games are comparable with actual real-world situations in organizations where principals and agents are interacting while using strategies that will minimize their risk and maximize their utility.…”

The Problem Agency theory has been empirically studied in other fields of study such as economics, political science, sociology, and management. Although a proposal for inclusion of agency theory to test training and development outcomes was made in human resource development (HRD)-related publications, little research has been conducted and published in HRD-related literature. The Solution This review of agency theory offers a description of the elements and factors associated with the principal–agent relationship that have been theorized and empirically tested in other fields of study. Much of the theoretical implications are transferable to HRD. The principal–agent relationship should be empirically tested in HRD situations and interpreted through an HRD lens. The Stakeholders The review of the principal–agent relationship in other fields is expected to benefit HRD researchers, practitioners, principals, and agents in organizations by providing insight into the orientation, elements, and influence of principal–agent relationships.

“…Reapplication of textures, heaviness of the models generated in BIM authoring tools in the rendering and VE navigation, manually re-entering information to gaming engines, and interoperability between the BIM authoring tools and the gaming engines are highly referred challenges in the literature (e.g. Nopachinda, Ergan 2016;Shen et al 2007Shen et al , 2012Dalton, Parfitt 2013;Figueres-Munoz, Merschbrock 2015;Bille et al 2014).…”

Building information models (BIMs) have been used by the Architectural/Engineering/Construction (AEC) industry with a focus on storing and exchanging digital information about building components. However, the untapped potential of BIMs in facility operations and the experience of facility operators while they interact with digital building information have not been understood widely. One of the underlying bottlenecks in the use of BIMs in the FM phase is the lack of interactions with components to easily access information of interest, and the lack of ways to navigate in models with full spatial understanding. Virtual environments (VEs), which represent physical spaces digitally in virtual worlds, enable interactions with virtual components to access information with spatial understanding. The underlying challenges in the conversion of BIMs to VE hinder a streamlined process. This paper provides a detailed analysis of building size, geometric complexities of discipline models and level of geometric granularity as factors contributing to inefficient transformation of BIMs to VE. The paper also provides research findings on a set of computational approaches such as polygon reduction and occlusion culling to overcome challenges and improve the data transfer faced in converting BIMs into VEs over a range and size of facility models.

“…Это подразумевает, что пользователь имеет контроль над точкой обзора, которая является основой любой VR-системы. Виртуальная реальность берет свое начало в индустрии развлечений, однако получила значительное развитие в проектировании, машиностроении и образовании [7]. Основываясь на тенденци-ях, можно проследить нарастающий интерес к технологии VR и в строительстве [8,9].…”

Introduction. Based on the trends, the growing interest in VR technology in construction can be traced. This relatively new technology is rapidly replacing traditional visualization methods, providing users with an enhanced digital experience. The aim of the work is to analyze the application of virtual reality technology in construction, based on the analysis, determine how to improve integration and find new ideas for the application of technologies.Methods and materials. As a result of the analysis of previous studies, it was revealed that there are no methods for transferring data from the VR system to the BIM software. In connection with the identified problem, the goal of this scientific work is to improve the integration of VR and BIM technologies by automatically transferring data from a virtual reality program to the original information model.Results. In the course of the work, a project was created based on a BIM model made in the Autodesk Revit software package and imported into the Unreal Engine 4 game engine to create an interactive virtual environment. A new approach to the creation and presentation of a project sketch using virtual reality technology is considered - a method of intuitive design in a virtual environment.Discussion and conclusion. The software module is at the stage of early development; nevertheless, it has prospects for development into a full-fledged application available to any user. The paper provides the main directions for the continuation of the application development.
