With the continuous development of VR virtual reality technology, the application of VR metaverse in the construction industry is becoming more and more extensive. Through VR metaverse technology, virtual space and real space are connected to realize the improvement and optimization of the whole life cycle of the building, and form a new digital construction system to achieve the effects of reducing costs, improving production efficiency, and efficient collaboration, and promoting the high-quality development of the construction industry.
The architectural metaverse is similar to the concept of "digital twin". The difference between the two is that the digital twin is a 1:1 mapping from the real world to the virtual world. It simulates the construction work in the real world by controlling the construction process and construction equipment in the virtual world. ;
The Metaverse, on the other hand, has a broader imagination than the digital twin. The virtual world reflected in the Metaverse not only has a mapping of the real world, but also has experiences and interactions that have not yet been realized or even cannot be realized in the real world. In addition, Metaverse pays more attention to the collaborative linkage between virtual space and real space, so as to realize virtual operation to guide real engineering construction.
Provide architects with a more realistic design experience
Traditional architectural design often needs to display design schemes through hand-painting, model making, etc., but these methods cannot reflect the details and effects of the design three-dimensionally and intuitively. Through the VR metaverse technology, designers can be brought into the virtual architectural design environment, allowing them to personally experience the details and effects of the design, so as to better display the design plan.
Improve the safety and efficiency of building construction
With the help of VR metaverse technology, remote monitoring and management can reduce the waste of manpower and material resources, and improve the safety and efficiency of construction.
Provide a highly restored real environment
The virtual scene of the VR metaverse can restore real environmental factors, such as weather and terrain, so that construction workers can better understand the situation on the construction site, so as to better complete construction tasks.
Provide building owners with a more intuitive construction experience
Utilizing the VR Metaverse technology, customers can enter the virtual simulation building environment after completion, and conduct panoramic roaming and interactive experiences to experience the characteristics and advantages of the building in person, so as to make better purchase decisions.
In short, the VR Metaverse will be closely integrated with every link of the entire industry chain of the construction industry, resulting in more innovative applications, improving the overall development level and quality of the construction industry, and injecting momentum into the construction industry.
