“…One approach to usability, that can allow for rapid evaluation of a range of platforms for learning, is heuristic evaluation [10], which has been adapted and used for the evaluation of learning environments [11], and more latterly adopted for AR and VR environments [12,13,14], . One particular aspect of HCI and usability testing for VR/AR applications, is the physical side, both in terms of the interaction, and also in terms of the impact on the user.…”

This chapter considers some of the challenges in providing effective virtual reality (VR) environments for teaching and training, where users are encouraged and enabled to be truly engaged in their learning. One approach is to use inquiry-based learning, linking that to the use of VR as a vehicle for education. This chapter introduces the notion of virtual learning spaces in a more general form and makes the case that a virtual learning space is any online environment where the learner perceives that they are interacting or gaming, and thus can be enabled within a virtual environment. Thus, virtual learning spaces are not limited to bespoke education learning software but can be considered in any context where the user perceives that they are engaging, having fun, and exploring, as can be implemented within a VR platform.Infotainment or gaming is a potential area that we can exploit to improve the effectiveness of training and learning and is particularly relevant within VR learning spaces. This chapter considers both synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication and virtual and immersed virtual reality to illustrate potential virtual learning spaces. The chapter presents some worked illustrations to show how this could be used with the context of teaching Computer Science.

“…The SDR data set reflects that it is popular in MR research to apply the design heuristics from Nielsen [101]. As these heuristics originate from usability problems of non-spatial systems in the 90s, an appropriate adaption of their for spatial systems is at least questionable [32]. Nevertheless, statements oriented on either Nielsen's heuristics or other concepts from non-spatial UI design comprise most of the SDR data set.…”

“…Hence, a topic can only be investigated in-depth if new work focuses on applying existing design recommendations to adapt and refine them. Nevertheless, we found only a few papers experimenting with the adaption of previously defined design recommendations and publishing their results, such as Endsley et al [43] and de Almeida Pacheco et al [32]. However, companies can evaluate their existing hardware and applications in realistic settings or draw from a vast set of applications published by the community or created by their developers.…”

Over the last decades, different kinds of design guides have been created to maintain consistency and usability in interactive system development. However, in the case of spatial applications, practitioners from research and industry either have difficulty finding them or perceive such guides as lacking relevance, practicability, and applicability. This paper presents the current state of scientific research and industry practice by investigating currently used design recommendations for mixed reality (MR) system development. We analyzed and compared 875 design recommendations for MR applications elicited from 89 scientific papers and documentation from six industry practitioners in a literature review. In doing so, we identified differences regarding four key topics: Focus on unique MR design challenges, abstraction regarding devices and ecosystems, level of detail and abstraction of content, and covered topics. Based on that, we contribute to the MR design research by providing three factors for perceived irrelevance and six main implications for design recommendations that are applicable in scientific and industry practice.

“…Cluster 6 AR exemplifies the research within the realm of immersive BIM environments underpinned by AR. AR allows the integration of virtual 3D objects into reality through devices such as smartphones, tablets, and AR glasses or headphones [100]. These applications enable possibilities for numerous studies, particularly in facilitating construction and improving communication efficiency.…”

Immersive Technologies-Driven Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Context of Metaverse

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

At present, considering the novelty of Immersive Technologies (ImTs) associated with Digital Twin (DT), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) in the context of the metaverse and its rapid and ongoing development in Building Information Modeling (BIM), knowledge of specific possibilities and methods for integrating ImTs into building process workflows remains fragmented and scarce. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the research progress and trends of immersive technology-driven BIM applications, providing a helpful reference for understanding the current knowledge system and stimulating future research. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to use macro-quantitative bibliometric analysis and micro-qualitative analysis methods to explore the research topic of ImTs-driven BIM. This study obtains 758 related studies in the past decade, year 2013 to 2022, through a series of keywords from the Web of Science Core Collection database and uses VOSviewer software to conduct keywords co-occurrence analysis and overlay visualisation to visualise the relationship between ImTs and BIM, which contains six clusters, namely VR, Internet of Things (IoT), DT, 3D model, design, and AR. The macro-quantitative analysis on ImTs-driven BIM applications throughout all the stages of the building lifecycle reveals the themes, content, and characteristics of the applications across the stages, which tend to be integrated with emerging advanced technology and tools, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, and deep learning.
