A realidade virtual no plano de implementação BIM

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution has provided several technological advances such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, robotics, the internet of things, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, nanotechnology, energy storage and others. The construction sector, one of the main world income sectors, is also impacted by technology with regard not only to the final product, but to the entire production chain. This paper aims to present the requirements for the implementation of Virtual Reality technology in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Implementation Plan, knowing that this tool contributes greatly to the design process in the construction of buildings. The method adopted for this research is defined as exploratory qualitative. We sought to present the main contributions of Virtual Reality to the Construction sector and to analyze the requirements for implementation of this technology in the stages of the BIM Implementation Plan (BIP). It can be concluded that there is no configuration model for the virtual reality experience that can be adopted as a standard for all companies. This choice will depend on several parameters such as: the personal preference, the deployment stage, the BIM development level, the project process, the available budget, the platforms chosen, the available physical space and the form that technology will be used. In addition, for a better use of technology, this demand must be presented from the first step of the BIM Implementation Plan.
