“…Nevertheless, AR and MR, the latter in particular, are finding numerous and promising applications in the design phase as well [17,39,40], concerning, in particular, building renovations, infrastructure design, urban planning [17], digital fabrication in architecture [41], virtual tours, and in situ walkthroughs (for instance overlaying virtual reconstruction on heritage sites to enrich cultural tours) [42][43][44], or for an augmented user experience in art and architecture exhibitions (such as for example the Exploring SongEun Art Space exhibition in Seoul by Herzog and de Meuron of November 2021), engaging attendees in a combination of physical and virtual worlds in which virtual agents can be interacted with as one would with real world counterparts [45].…”

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.

“…Several experimental projects discuss the advantages of AR in carrying out on-site, highly customized manufacturing or parametric design-related operations (Akbari, 2018;Jahn et al, 2019). As Song et al (2021) argue, digital fabrication in architecture can exploit AR in guiding assemblage and construction procedures, enabling on-site customization and optimization, and handling design defects and construction tolerance. IT company Fologram demonstrated AR usage for 3D "holographic" instruction in a construction site environment, that is, showing 1:1 CAD drawings through headset devices (Felix, 2019).…”

Abstract. A growing number of research works, experiments and applications is investigating the potential at the intersection of augmented reality (AR) and the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Project management, project communication, collaborative design, maintenance and construction progress documentation, construction site safety, and training are some of the cases that can benefit from blending real and virtual views through mobile devices. In recent years, research also highlighted how mixed reality and building information modeling (BIM) could cooperate to provide effective communication between multiple agents and closer interaction between digital information and the building site. Nevertheless, consolidated applications in these fields are still limited, especially when compared to other areas of AR adoption. This paper presents the development of an AR-based mobile app for exploring telecommunications tower sites and interacting with a related BIM database. The project aims to provide easy-to-use tools to maintain both the physical assets and an up-to-date model. We discuss critical issues in developing a scalable and interoperable application, supporting the feasibility study of similar solutions in the AEC sector.

“…For example, Guzman et al (2020) examined the privacy and security impacts of AR and MR technologies, and they claimed their study to be the first study dealing with these critical issues. Similarly, Song et al (2021) also adopted a literature review method to study the role of AR in digital fabrication. The literature review method is also famous for analyzing existing cross-cultural psychology literature ( Obschonka et al, 2022 ).…”

Digital reality technologies (such as AR, VR, and MR) have recently become a key component of promoting creative and cultural industries (CCIs) worldwide to transform static cultural heritage exhibits into more engaging, entertaining, and immersive experiences. These technologies present an exciting example of studying how consumers would respond to the potential invasion of privacy due to these technologies. This literature review study mainly focuses on one essential branch of CCIs: museums and their applications of digital reality technologies. Because many of these location-based AR applications by museums are inherently sensitive to users’ locational information, there is also a rising concern of the potential infringement of personal privacy (RQ1). A thorough examination of existing literature on how consumers respond to privacy concerns related to the museum’s AR applications will help uncover how scholars have approached and studied these crucial issues in the literature (RQ2). Unlike traditional literature review analyses, we employed a text mining of retrieved 715 studies articles from Business Source Complete and Engineering Village (E.I.) databases to answer our two research questions. Our study found that privacy and user(s) /visitor(s) has dramatically increased since 2017, echoing the rising concerns of other privacy-invasive technologies. Most notably, key phrases extracted from the literature corpus include “security and privacy,” “privacy and security,” “privacy risks,” “privacy concerns,” “privacy issues,” “user privacy,” “location privacy,” “privacy protection,” and “privacy preserving” that are most pertinent to the rapid implementation of AR technology in the museum sector. Discussions and implications are provided.
