“…VR offers immersive data visualization and interactive learning experiences, which allow students and workers to engage with complex concepts and scenarios in a safe and controlled environment [11,12]. VR can provide realistic training simulations, allowing workers to experience hazardous situations without associated risks and enhancing safety training effectiveness [13]. Additionally, VR improves collaboration among project stakeholders by offering a shared virtual space for real-time design reviews and modi cations, thus reducing misunderstandings and errors [14].…”

This systematic review explores the viability of virtual reality (VR) technologies for enhancing learning outcomes and operational efficiency within the construction industry. This study evaluates the current integration of VR in construction education and practice. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, this review analyzed 36 peer-reviewed journal articles from databases such as the Web of Science, ERIC, and Scopus. The methodology focused on identifying, appraising, and synthesizing all relevant studies to assess the effectiveness of VR applications in construction-related fields. This review highlights that VR significantly enhances learning by providing immersive interactive simulations that improve the understanding of every complex construction process, such as structural elements or tunnel-boring machine operations. This review contributes by systematically compiling and evaluating evidence on using VR in construction, which has seen a limited comprehensive analysis. It provides practical examples of how VR can revolutionize education and work.
