Virtual worlds in AECO operations: Towards a human-centric framework
The AECO industry faces persistent challenges, including fragmentation, inefficiencies, and limited human-centric integration in digital workflows. While BIM and Digital Twins (DTs) have advanced digitalization, they often lack the immersive, multi-user, and interactive environments crucial for Industry 5.0 and Construction 5.0. This paper presents a comprehensive review of Virtual Worlds (VWs) and their potential for the AECO sector. Based on this review, a human-centric methodological and technological framework is proposed, structured across four synergistic layers: Data & Context; Processing & Simulation; Interaction & Visualization; and Integration & Connectivity. This framework integrates Extended Reality (XR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Gaming Technology with existing BIM and DTs data. Its applicability is conceptually illustrated through five research prototypes, demonstrating its potential to guide advancements in collaboration, simulation, visualization, and human-machine interaction in AECO. This work contributes a structured vision and roadmap for fostering more efficient, collaborative, and human-augmented digital practices.
