can solve an construction industry problem with VR.
-
Can track learner’s capabilities and

Virtual Reality devices
Main devices that support the creation of an 3D virtual environment and so that to represent real time events are Head Mounted Display , Cave , Gloves , 3D Mouse ,Space Ball , Video camera and shadows, Voice recognition
Examples: Oculus Rift-style system, Students can conduct “real” physical tasks while fully immersed in virtual environments
Limiations

-
Future investigation required to create the realism of VR when delivering the construction training content (tablets, iPads, laptops, CAVE systems, head-mounted-displays, mobile phones)
There are difficulties in defining the degree to which a digital platform represents a real-life situation , depicts real-world operations and locations.
