虚拟现实（VR）技术多年来一直用于建筑设计和施工。 VR 主要应用于设计评审、工人和最终用户培训、3D 协调、营销和演示。此前的研究表明，VR技术，例如交互式虚拟演练，可以帮助设计团队有效传达设计理念，帮助评估建筑方案，并协助识别设计错误。尽管有诸多好处，但 VR 尚未在实际设计实践中广泛采用。本文研究了 VR 媒体和显示系统在能源改造项目设计过程中的使用，并确定了在该项目中使用 VR 技术的好处和挑战。项目团队在整个设计过程中都可以使用沉浸式显示系统。研究团队支持设计团队开发虚拟现实解决方案。研究团队还通过调查和案例研究分析技术记录和评估了沉浸式显示系统的使用。案例研究表明，只要开发的 VR 模型具有适当的细节和功能水平，使用 VR 工具和沉浸式显示系统可以使设计会议更加高效，评审更加有效。业界仍然缺乏对 VR 技术的好处和用例的总体了解。此外，VR工具和VR显示系统专业知识的缺乏也阻碍了VR技术在当前实践中的更广泛采用。
Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have been used in building design and construction for many years. VR has primarily been applied for design review, worker and end-user training, 3D coordination, marketing, and demonstration. Previous research shows that VR technologies, such as interactive virtual walkthroughs, help the design team effectively convey design ideas, aid in the evaluation of architectural alternatives, and assist in the identification of design errors. Despite the benefits, VR has not yet been widely adopted in actual design practice. This paper examines the use of a VR media and display system in the design process of an energy retrofit project and identifies the benefits and challenges of using VR technologies for the project. The project team had access to an immersive display system throughout the design process. A research team supported the design team with the development of virtual reality solutions. The research team also documented and evaluated the uses of the immersive display system through surveys and case study analysis techniques. The case study shows that using VR tools and an immersive display system makes the design meetings more productive and the reviews more effective, provided the VR models are developed with appropriate level of detail and functionalities. The industry still lacks a general understanding of the benefit and use cases of VR technology. In addition, the lack of expertise in VR tools and VR display systems also impedes the wider adoption of the VR technologies in the current practice.
