Abstract

The dissertation examined the perspective of construction players towards implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies. The main objectives of this research were aimed to identify the strengths, barriers, and recommended enhancement strategies of AR and VR technologies implementation, as well as the construction players’ perceptions. Followed by a literature review on AR and VR in construction, with a focus on the strengths, barriers, and recommended enhancement strategies of AR and VR implementation were presented. Furthermore, the research methodology delved into the data collection by distributed 157 set of questionnaire survey and received 157 set feedbacks successfully. The expert opinion, judgemental sampling method, descriptive analysis, and inferential analysis including Spearman Correlation and Kruskal-Wallis Test had conducted. Besides that, data analysis and result were showcased continuously by examined respondents' demographics and level of agreement on the strengths, barriers, recommended enhancement strategies, and construction players’ perceptions. Based on the Kruskal-Wallis Test result, the strengths, barriers, recommended enhancement strategies, and construction players’ perceptions have been identified. The significant differences between variables were analysed. Last but not least, the discussion on main objectives including strengths, barriers, recommended enhancement strategies, and construction players' perceptions have been carried out to defined whether these objectives were achieved. The dissertation concluded by highlighting the research contributions, research limitations, and recommendations for the future study. The critical recommendation was to expand the sample size in future studies to address the potential inadequacy of the research outcomes' representativeness in adequately representing the broader population of global construction professionals.
