Applications of Immersive Technology in Architecture, Engineering and Construction : A Handbook
This edited volume explores the role of immersive technologies—such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality—across the lifecycle of built environment projects in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. It addresses a gap in current literature by examining how these tools are applied from design through to end-of-life phases, highlighting their potential to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and support digital transformation in line with Industry 4.0. The book also discusses the benefits, challenges, and future directions of immersive technology adoption in AEC contexts.

There is a growing emphasis in the field of management on adopting practices that are supported by robust research evidence. In the first volume of a key management handbook, leading scholars from 39 different areas were invited to each identify a core principle that encapsulates the main findings of their field. These principles were explained in accessible, non-technical language and illustrated with real-world business examples, making the content practical and relevant for both students and professionals.
