The Present and Future Scope of Virtual Reality in the Construction Industry

Öz

Virtual Reality is developing and spreading all over the world at a rapid rate, its applications are being increasing with time. In the recent years, the presence of virtual reality can be observed in the construction industry as well. With the technological advancements in the recent decades, the traditional way of construction is being transformed slowly and steadily, due to which the construction industry is no longer separate from advanced technologies like virtual reality. In this paper, the focus on virtual reality was given and its significance in the construction sector at present. Further, the potential of virtual reality to change as well as transform the construction industry in the future, is covered in the paper. Some research gaps in the current studies in addition to graphical analysis based on the obtainable data from different sources were performed to support the study.
