Augmented reality technologies in construction project assembly phases
Abstract Implementing augmented reality (AR) technology in the construction industry, particularly during the assembly stage of projects, presents a significant opportunity for accelerating the sector's digitalization process and enhancing labour productivity. Research, as the established literature shows, grows every year, however, further research is needed in order to achieve widespread adoption. This study aims to provide researchers with a systematic review of all the studies in the literature related to augmented reality technology's role in facilitating assembly adaptation within the construction industry. Utilizing the PRISMA method, a systematic review was conducted. Through thorough examinations, 42 articles directly relevant to the topic were identified, and the full texts consequently meticulously examined. The research suggests that a strong relationship between Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology and augmented reality concerning construction management issues exists. Additionally, the studies indicated that Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are frequently used as visualization tools, and the Unity game engine is commonly employed as software.
Highlights One of our aims in our study is to encourage scientists who can conduct research on the adaptation of augmented reality technology to the assembly phase of the construction industry. We aim to provide them with comprehensive information on the methods, software applications, and visualization tools utilized in previous studies. Head Mountain Devices have been commonly used as visualization tools. Researchers predominantly choose the Unity game engine. Additionally, it is noteworthy that 25% of researchers in this field prefer to publish their work in the Automation in Construction journal. In our study, the full texts of 40 articles were thoroughly examined using the PRISMA checklist. It was found that the number of studies in this field is increasing every year.
