Building Information Modeling (BIM) for existing buildings — Literature review and future needs
TL;DR: Results show scarce BIM implementation in existing buildings yet, due to challenges of (1) high modeling/conversion effort from captured building data into semantic BIM objects, (2) updating of information in BIM and (3) handling of uncertain data, objects and relations in B IM occurring inexisting buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) applications in construction safety
TL;DR: A generic taxonomy consisting of VR/AR technology characteristics, application domains, safety scenarios and evaluation methods is brought up to assist both researchers and industrial practitioners with appreciating the research and practice frontier ofVR/AR-CS and soliciting the latest VR/ AR applications.

Enhancing environmental sustainability over building life cycles through green BIM: A review
Johnny Wong,Jason X. Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the existing green BIM literature and outline the most important directions for future research, and suggest that a "one-stop-shop" BIM for environmental sustainability monitoring and management over a building's full life cycle should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of the use of virtual reality in construction engineering education and training
TL;DR: It is found that the VR technologies adopted for CEET evolve over time, from desktop-based VR, immersive VR, 3D game- based VR, to Building Information Modelling (BIM)-enabled VR.

KinectFusion: Real-time dense surface mapping and tracking
Richard Newcombe,Shahram Izadi,Otmar Hilliges,David Molyneaux,David Kim,Andrew J. Davison,Pushmeet Kohi,Jamie Shotton,Steve Hodges,Andrew Fitzgibbon +9 more
TL;DR: A system for accurate real-time mapping of complex and arbitrary indoor scenes in variable lighting conditions, using only a moving low-cost depth camera and commodity graphics hardware, which fuse all of the depth data streamed from a Kinect sensor into a single global implicit surface model of the observed scene in real- time.
