Description
Virtual Reality and the Built Environment by Jennifer Whyte and Dragana Nikolic is a comprehensive exploration of how virtual reality can be used in the design, production, and management of the built environment. The authors examine three key questions: what drives the use of virtual reality in business, its limitations, and how it can be implemented within organizations. They answer these questions through international case studies, including recent applications in building information modelling (BIM) and the renewed interest in virtual reality to visualize data for decision-making. This updated edition considers both immersive virtual reality and augmented reality, situating them within a broader trajectory of innovation that also includes emerging technologies like laser scanning, mobile devices, and big data.
