Overview: With advancements in software applications and computer display technology, it is now possible to place construction students within a large-scale, immersive projection display that allows them to experience and experiment with a 3D, full-scale virtual model of a construction project. This advanced visual communication can significantly improve the ability of students to comprehend, learn, and gain experience with reviewing designs for constructability and planning the construction of complex building and infrastructure projects. Results from several experiments that start to illustrate the potential benefits of using virtual reality and immersive projection displays for educating construction engineering and management students are presented.
