Abstract

Traditionally construction process information is communicated with paper documents and 2D CAD drawings. Recently, the industry has embraced many kinds of web-based technologies, but information still uses document-based model. The applicability of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is being investigated for visualizing the activities at a construction site and creating an advanced web-based 3D user interface for construction process information by the Computer-Integrated Construction Group at NIST.
