Virtual reality (VR) has attracted increasing attention of the architecture, engineering, construction and facility management (AEC/FM) industry in recent years. VR has the potential to improve workflow efficiency through enhanced common understanding. However, the current workflow, which usually contains manually converting design files to VR application, is quite cumbersome and usually, inefficient. The lack of automated and efficient data exchange approach and protocol could potentially cause designers and other users to abandon VR after the first few design cycles. In this paper, we introduce a BIM-VR real-time data exchange system. The system is based on an innovative Cloud-based BIM metadata interpretation and communication method. With the function of allowing users to update BIM model changes in VR headsets automatically and simultaneously, the system achieves high user stickiness and reduces the complexity of workflow. We tested the system in a variety of design change scenarios including changing object dimensions and changing object types. Results confirmed the usability and efficiency.
