Visual Programming for Building Information Modeling and Virtual Reality for Clash Detection

Abstract

This article presented a process combination of building information modeling, visual programming, and virtual reality presentation with three-dimensional camera device. This was to reduce time consuming problem due to many clash points and help user to access clash detection points quickly for corrective decisions. The researchers created a 2-strories building model as case study and draw the combination working process. The process was evaluated by building information experts and revealed that this conceptual process could reduce working time for model clash detection with many clash points.
