The "digital twin" practice is gaining momentum around the world. Every building gets a digital version that records all its stages, from design to maintenance over the years.
This development strengthens the place of virtual reality (VR) as a key tool in the construction process. Virtual reality allows active interaction with the building's digital model. Professionals can 'walk' inside the virtual building, check spaces, find problems, fix details and run different simulations - during design and construction, and also after the project is finished, during its ongoing maintenance.
In this way, VR becomes part of a bridge between the digital world and the work on site, and gives professionals advanced tools for control, improvement and more accurate decisions.
