Beyond of BIM technology consolidation, the incorporation of virtual reality in the field of architecture and construction implies a new breakthrough which implies several advantages both at professional and academic levels. With the aim to measure the potential of this technology, a set of immersive activities were performed at the University of Lleida in the degree of Technical Architecture and Buildings. From the results, it could be observed the great ease of students in learning the use of virtual reality tools and the great potential of these solutions not only in learning architecture and construction but also as a professional working tool, especially for the design phases.
Resumen
Más allá de la consolidación de la tecnología BIM, la incorporación de la realidad virtual en el campo de la arquitectura y la construcción implica un nuevo avance que conlleva varias ventajas tanto a nivel profesional como académico. Con el objetivo de medir el potencial de esta tecnología, se realizaron un conjunto de actividades inmersivas en el grado de Arquitectura Técnica y Edificación de la Universidad de Lleida. A partir de los resultados, se pudo observar la gran facilidad de los estudiantes para aprender el uso de herramientas de realidad virtual y el gran potencial de estas soluciones no solo en el aprendizaje de arquitectura y construcción, sino también como una herramienta de trabajo profesional, especialmente para las fases de diseño.
