Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) epitomize the technological frontier of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, bearing significant relevance to the construction sector. These immersive technologies, closely aligned with the burgeoning metaverse paradigm, have spawned a variety of applications within the construction industry, notably in the whole construction stage. However, their transition to on-field applications remains limited, especially in South Korea. This study aims to meticulously scrutinize the current landscape of VR, AR, and MR research in construction by delving into various overseas studies that employ these technologies across the construction lifecycle. Utilizing the RISS, Dbpia, KCI database, a systematic accumulation of bibliographic data from pertinent research papers will be conducted to discern the prevailing research trends and the practical implications of VR, AR, and MR in Korean AEC field. The analysis will encompass a review of the goals, methodologies, and outcomes of these studies, providing a scaffold for future research in this domain. The investigation will also shed light on the potential synergy between these immersive technologies and Building Information Modeling (BIM), which encapsulates the whole construction lifecycle, thereby illuminating pathways for enhanced digital model utilization in pre-construction processes. This endeavor not only seeks to bridge the existing research gap but strives to propel the Korean AEC field towards a digitally-augmented horizon by leveraging the capabilities of VR, AR, and MR.

Virtual reality is being increasingly used for healing and therapy for mental health. In this study, we developed VR-based immersive content that enables virtual travel without the limitations of time and physical conditions. We aim to develop and produce VR content for relaxation and meditation using the beautiful natural scenery. To make realistic and immersive content, we took a video of natural sceneries with a small UAV connected to a VR camera. The content was developed through stitching, video editing and post-processing of the initially captured video data, and then the created VR video was inserted into the VR device. The produced content will be helpful for stress and used to heal the mind and body of exhausted modern people by providing the place with great scenery and sound in an immersive way at any time.

In the field of augmented reality technologies, commercial optical see-through-type wearable displays have difficulty providing immersive visual experiences, because users perceive different depths between virtual views on display surfaces and see-through views to the real world. Many cases of augmented reality applications have adopted eyeglasses-type displays (EGDs) for visualizing simple 2D information, or video see-through-type displays for minimizing virtual- and real-scene mismatch errors. In this paper, we introduce an innovative optical see-through-type wearable display hardware, called an EGD. In contrast to common head-mounted displays, which are intended for a wide field of view, our EGD provides more comfortable visual feedback at close range. Users of an EGD device can accurately manipulate close-range virtual objects and expand their view to distant real environments. To verify the feasibility of the EGD technology, subject-based experiments and analysis are performed. The analysis results and EGD-related application examples show that EGD is useful for visually expanding immersive 3D augmented environments consisting of multiple displays.

Digital media technology is gradually developing with the development of convergence quaternary industrial technology and mobile devices. The combination of deep learning and augmented reality can provide more convenient and lively services through the interaction of 3D virtual images with the real world. We combine deep learning-based pose prediction with augmented reality technology. We predict the eight vertices of the bounding box of the object in the image. Using the predicted eight vertices(x,y), eight vertices(x,y,z) of 3D mesh, and the intrinsic parameter of the smartphone camera, we compute the external parameters of the camera through the PnP algorithm. We calculate the distance to the object and the degree of rotation of the object using the external parameter and apply to AR content. Our method provides services in a web environment, making it highly accessible to users and easy to maintain the system. As we provide augmented reality services using consumers' smartphone cameras, we can apply them to various business fields.

In tangible augmented reality (AR) environments for virtual prototyping, the user interacts with virtual products by manipulating tangible objects with his or her hands, but the user often encounter awkward situations in which his or her hands are occluded by augmented virtual objects, which reduces both immersion and ease of interaction. In this paper, we present how to resolve such hand region occlusion in order to enhance natural interaction and immersive visualization. In the AR environment considered, we use two types (product-type and pointer-type) of tangible objects for tangible user interaction with a virtual product of interest. Holding the tangible objects with his or her hands, the user can create input events by touching specified regions of the product-type tangible object with the pointer-type tangible object. We developed a method for resolving hand region occlusion frequently arising during such user interaction, It first detect hand region in a real image and refines the rendered image of the virtual object by subtracting the hand region from the rendered image, Then, it superimposes the refined image onto the real image to obtain an image in which the occlusion is resolved. Incorporated into tangible AR interaction for virtual prototyping of handheld products such as cellular phones and MP3 players, the method has been found by a preliminary user study that it is not only useful to improve natural interaction and immersive visualization of virtual products, but also helpful for making the users experience the products' shapes and functions better.

Augmented reality (AR), which integrates virtual media into reality, is increasingly utilized across various industrial sectors, thanks to advancements in 3D graphics and mobile device technologies. The IT industry is thus carrying out active R&D activities about AR platforms. Google plays a significant role in the AR landscape, with a focus on ARCore services. An essential aspect of ARCore is the use of anchors, which serve as reference points that help maintain the position and orientation of virtual objects within the physical environment. However, if the accuracy of anchor positioning is suboptimal when running AR content, it can significantly diminish the user's immersive experience. We are to assess the performance of these anchors in this study. To conduct the performance evaluation, virtual 3D objects, matching the shape and size of real-world objects, we strategically positioned ourselves to overlap with their physical counterparts. Images of both real and virtual objects were captured from five distinct camera trajectories, and ARCore's performance was analyzed by examining the difference between these captured images.
