“…In addition, it is the type of evaluation most commonly used in the database analyzed. Within the literature, articles were identified that use a means to evaluate experiences: interviews [ 19 , 24 , 27 , 68 , 70 , 73 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 ]; questionnaires [ 13 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 25 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 ]; interviews and questionnaires that use the Likert scale [ 108 ] to quantify the participants’ response, varying between five, six, and seven values [ 26 , 28 , 32 , 71 , 80 , 109 , 110 ,…”

“…These technologies enable immersive project review, virtual and safe project walk-throughs, incorporation of safety elements (either personal protection elements or general safety elements for the construction site), and the management of collective and individual protection elements on the job site, among other uses [ 17 ]. Some of the most common XR experiences deal with safety issues, such as working at heights [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], the influence of noise on workers’ decisions [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], monitoring through the use of augmented reality and sensors to track the interaction between heavy machinery and workers [ 9 , 24 , 25 ], and mainly in training on the use of tools, machinery, materials, among others [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. For training activities, virtual reality (VR) educational narrative games provide rich, high-fidelity environments that deliver a fully immersive and interactive storytelling experience for teaching [ 29 ].…”

The construction industry has high accident rates. The sector is exploring various tools to improve safety management, training, and awareness to achieve zero accidents. This work focuses on extended reality (XR), which encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies. Several authors have developed training experiences for construction safety in XR environments with positive conclusions about their effectiveness. However, there is no standardization regarding the evaluation methods used in the sector, and many experiences do not use any method. This lack is critical, as whenever the aim is to evaluate the degree of awareness of security issues, the implementation of evaluation systems is indispensable to make known the methods used in the literature to evaluate the effectiveness of the experiences and represent support for future research. This research identifies developments in XR experiences and analyzes the validation methods through a systematic review using the PRISMA methodology. It identifies two evaluation methods, objective and subjective, which are each broken down into four categories. The results show the types of evaluation, safety-related purposes, and safety application objectives used by the database classification.

“…For example, Lee et al (2020) investigated using AR technology in search and assembly tasks where multiple users at the local site were supported by a remote expert, while Chenechal et al (2016) explored the concept of virtual arms at the physical site being used for industrial maintenance, procedure learning, and sports training. Olorunfemi et al (2018) focused on applying AR technology for risk communication and hazard identification in the construction industry, with the experts at remote locations collaborating with the user in the construction field to determine a hazard in realtime on the site, thus avoiding a safety visit that would interrupt the workflow. Similarly, AR was also used to maintain industrial Personal Computers (PC) where the expert guided the customer to fix the issue remotely (Obermair et al 2020).…”

“…Similarly, wearable AR remote collaboration has shown both a reduction in workload as well as giving the participant a strong feeling of co-presence (Sasikumar et al, 2019). For example, MR has proven to be very efficient on the construction job site in increasing the accuracy of risk communication compared to traditional communication methods (Olorunfemi et al, 2018).…”

Augmented Reality (AR) enhances the user’s view of the existing world by adding a computer-generated model. AR technology is used in many domains to help users complete tasks more efficiently. This paper reports a systematic review of literature on where and how AR is used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries for remote collaboration, identifying the devices adopted as well as their impact and challenges. The initial search resulted in a total of 695 studies, of which 12 were screened for final review. We found that integrating AR results in a significant reduction in time to complete the task, errors, and workload while at the same time improving the performance and accuracy of risk communication in construction projects. This review concludes with a discussion of the findings and the opportunities for future research

“…In another study, Shi et al [46] utilized a multi-user VR system with motion tracking capabilities to enhance iron-workers interpersonal social interaction and communication simulating their work in high-rise buildings. In another recent study, Olorunfemi et al [47] used a holographic MR technology that runs on Microsoft Hololens to better enable visual interaction and enhance remote collaboration for jobsite risk communication on the construction jobsites.…”

Over the last decade, researchers have used virtual-and mixed-reality (VR-MR) techniques for various safety-related applications such as training, hazard monitoring, and preconstruction planning. This paper reviews the recent trends in virtual-and mixed-reality applications in construction safety, explicitly focusing on virtual-reality and mixed-reality techniques as the two major types of computer-generated simulated experiences. Following a systematic literature assessment methodology, this study summarizes the results of articles that have been published over the last decade and illustrates the research trends of virtual-and mixed-reality applications in construction safety while focusing on the technological components of individual studies.Safety 2019, 5, 51 2 of 16 high refresh rates, accurate point-of-view tracking; these benefits are possible at lower costs than in the past, mainly because VR-MR systems are gaining traction in the mainstream gaming community [9]. Investment in VR-MR technology is increasing, and the VR-MR market is projected to increase from $2.67 billion in 2015 to $66.68 billion by 2022 [10].This study analyses the current trends in virtual-and mixed-reality applications in construction safety, particularly focusing on virtual-reality and mixed-reality platforms as the two major types of computer-generated simulated experiences. This study also focuses on the technological components of those VR-MR studies and discusses individual examples of research projects that implemented such technologies for construction safety application. A few scholars have published review articles of digital visualization techniques for safety applications. Zhou et al. [11] conducted a review of advanced technology for safety. Bhoir and Esmaeili [12] explored VR environments for safety; Guo et al. [13] looked at visualization technologies for safety. Li et al. [14] reviewed virtual and augmented reality systems for safety. Unlike other reviews, this study asks specific research questions through a systematic review technique and individually discusses the papers within the context of different safety applications, as well as their technological components. Moreover, by intentionally limiting the scope of the review to VR and MR, this study can highlight interactive safety interventions with detailed summaries of application areas, while separating VR and MR from the larger, general field of BIM (Building Information Modeling), 4D CAD (Computer-Aided Design), and other visualization technologies. The significance of this research lies in that it presents the application status of VR and MR in enhancing safety in the construction domain and brings more attention to these promising technologies and ultimately improves safety in the construction domain. The expected outcome of this content-analysis-based review can benefit both industry professional and researchers who find it necessary to design and develop an efficient application employing VR/MR technologies to enhance safety processes in the construction ...
