Abstract

This study introduces a novel system for the 4D simulation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects in mixed reality (MR) environments, addressing challenges of file format compatibility and data management. By developing a system that effectively partitions and manages BIM data, specifically utilizing the OBJ format, the study enables precise simulation of construction project changes over time. This advancement enhances visualization and decision-making in construction project planning and execution. The study highlights the integration of BIM and MR technologies, facilitating enhanced project management and operational workflows. Future work will focus on expanding compatibility with various BIM data formats and MR devices, and integrating AI-based data analysis for more accurate and efficient construction simulations.
