Abstract
With the new industrial revolution, “Industry 4.0,” it is important to understand and incorporate the new standards and technologies evolving in the market. Industry 4.0 relies on the integrated use of big data and analytics coupled with various technologies to help make decisions and manage projects. This revolution has brought Mixed Reality (MR) into the construction field. Mixed reality (MR) offers significant benefits for smart industries, such as enhancing productivity, training, manufacturing, error correction, assembly, and packaging processes. But how feasible are Mixed Reality Technologies (MRTs) considering the high initial investment required for acquiring devices, subscribing to services, planning and implementing solutions, and training staff? Studies have shown that in the long run, MRTs provide high results and involve many stakeholders. It is proved that using MR for complex and lengthy projects can make the project run smoother and be completed in less time. MR makes service coordination easier and can produce models resulting in fewer construction errors. Even though there are many advantages to MR, many issues and gaps in the industry have yet to be overcome. This is making it harder to incorporate MRTs at this stage. This paper documents findings through a systematic literature review of the challenges and methods to overcome those challenges related to using MR for construction activities.
