Virtual reality in construction activities: barriers for adoption in China
Purpose - The research presents a study of the barriers that hamper industry adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) for construction activities in China. Design/methodology/approach - The research adopted a qualitative research methodology, using semi-structured interviews to collect data from participants. The initial set of codes was established through an open coding method for the subsequent content analysis of data. Findings - The findings obtained identified the economic issue as the main barrier impeding the adoption of VR to deliver construction projects in China. Other barriers were also identified including insufficient technical depth and awareness, and the fragmented nature of the supply chain within the industry. Originality/value - The study proposed recommendations on raising awareness, setting up workflows and government support to mitigate the limiting barriers. The findings of the study provide valuable insights to researchers and Chinese construction industry practitioners to better understand and promote VR adoption in the delivery of construction projects.
