Abstract

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) allows viewing abstract concepts and entities in a three dimensional (3D) visuospatial environment. In this paper, we innovatively introduced IVR technology into the verification of the as-built state of electric line networks in buildings. On the one hand, using a reasoning-based estimation of electric networks as a starting point, we demonstrated the usability of IVR technology for verifying installed utilities in buildings. On the other hand, we established the communication between the Reasoner and the practitioner and also simulated the verification action of electric line networks in buildings in the real world. The principal findings of this work pave the way for a subsequent and systematic evaluation of the different reasoning strategies for estimating and generating the as-built state of building utilities.
