Contents I. Introduction
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of a facility’s physical and functional characteristics. It serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility. BIM involves creating and managing data throughout a building’s lifecycle [1], [2], from initial design and construction through operation and maintenance, and supports decision-making. Integrating virtual reality (VR) into Building Information Modeling systems has been an evolving process, significantly advancing over the past decade. Initial explorations into this integration began in the early 2000s, but it wasn’t until around 2010 that significant strides were made. The development of affordable and accessible VR hardware, such as the Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR, along with improvements in BIM software like Autodesk Revit, facilitated this integration.
