AUGMENTED REALITY TOOLS FOR ENHANCING WORKER TRAINING AND DESIGN VISUALIZATION IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Keywords:
Augmented Reality (AR), Construction, Worker Training, Design Visualization, Immersive Learning, Construction InnovationSynopsis
Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a transformative technology in the construction sector, facilitating interactive design visualization and immersive worker training. As the construction industry grapples with skilled labor shortages and rising design complexity, AR provides real-time, on-site simulation environments. These tools enhance decision-making, increase accuracy, and reduce errors. This paper explores the contemporary applications of AR tools in training and visualization, reviewing past literature and evaluating recent advancements through quantitative and qualitative assessments.
