Potencial uporabe navidezne resničnosti za izboljšanje komunikacije v gradbenih projektih

Ogris, Katja (author), Turk, Žiga (mentor), Klinc, Robert (comentor)

Z razvojem znanosti in tehnologije postajajo stavbe in inženirski objekti vse kompleksnejši, udeleženci procesov graditve so vse ožje specializirani, kar se odraža na vse večjem številu vključenih v proces načrtovanja ter večji količini informacij, ki sestavlja projektno dokumentacijo. Proces načrtovanja objekta ni več linearen, temveč postaja iterativen ter interaktiven proces, kjer je potrebno sinhrono sodelovanje različnih strok. Spremembe, izboljšave in prilagoditve objekta se dogajajo neprestano, čemur se prilagaja tudi način komunikacije med udeleženci, vključenimi v proces načrtovanja ter gradnje. Na trgu so se pred časom začele pojavljati nove tehnologije, ki bi lahko izboljšale procese predstavitve in prenosa informacij. Eno izmed takšnih predstavlja virtualna resničnost, ki bi lahko služila kot dopolnitev obstoječih 3D BIM-modelov. Cilj magistrskega dela predstavlja definiranje kritičnih točk trenutno vzpostavljenih metod ustvarjanja in deljenja informacij ter predlaganje alternativnih rešitev, ki bi pripomogle k izboljšanju komunikacije v gradbenih projektih. Pri tem izhajamo iz hipoteze, da bi uporaba navidezne resničnosti lahko pripomogla pri premagovanju komunikacijskih ovir ter odpravljanju težav, ki so posledica napačno razumljenih, uporabljenih in posredovanih informacij. Z optimalnejšo uporabo informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologij, bi lahko izboljšali procese ustvarjanja, deljenja in izmenjave projektne dokumentacije. Hipotezo smo potrjevali teoretično s pomočjo študija literature in praktično s pomočjo spletne ankete in ocenjevanje različnih metod predstavitev ter uporabo VR znotraj podjetja. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da vizualizacije s pomočjo navidezne resničnosti povečujejo razumljivost predstavljenih podatkov (v primerjavi z 2D načrti, 3D modeli), med tem ko le-te še vedno predstavljajo najvišji nivo uporabnosti predstavitev. Definirane so bile prednosti in pomanjkljivosti uporabe VR znotraj AEC ter smernice, ki bi lahko pripomogle k uspešnemu razvoju in integraciji orodij v prihajajočih letih.

• Title: Potential use of virtual reality for improving communication in construction projects

Abstract

With the technology and science development, the projects are becoming more demanding; professions are becoming increasingly specialized, which is reflectied in the increasing number of participants involved in the planning process and the increased amount of information that forms the project documentation. The process of designing an object is no longer linear, but it is becoming an iterative and interactive process of work, where the synchronous co-operation of different disciplines is required. Processes of communication between the participants involved in the planning and construction process will have to be adjusted, due to ongoing changes, improvements and adjustments of the projects. New technologies that could improve the processes of presentation and transmission of information, started to emerge on the market. An example of such technology is the usage of virtual reality, which serve as a complement to the existing 3D BIM-models. The aim of this master thesis is to define critical points of the currently established methods of creating and sharing information and proposing alternative solutions that could help improve communication in construction projects. We proceed from hypothesis that the use of virtual reality could help to overcome communication barriers and resolve problems that occur as a result of misinterpreted, used and transmitted information. By optimizing the use of information and communication technologies, it would be possible to improve the processes of creating, sharing and exchanging project documentation. The hypothesis was confirmed theoretically, by means of a literature study and practically with the conducted survey of Slovenian construction sector (evaluation of different presentation methods) and by use of VR within one of the interantional companies. It was found that virtualization visualization enhances the intelligibility of presented data (compared to 2D plans, 3D models), while the traditional methodst still represent the highest level of usability of presentations. The advantages and disadvantages of VR usage within the AEC and the guidelines that could contribute to the successful development and integration of tools in the coming years were defined at the end.
