📖 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗥: How can we build immersive, human-centric digital environments for the AECO industry?

🏗️ CIMNE PhD student Mathias Proboste explores this in his first PhD publication, proposing a framework for Virtual Worlds in Construction 5.0.

🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Inverted pyramid diagram illustrating the conceptual evolution of digital maturity in the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation) industry, adapted from BIM6D Consulting & Performance. The figure presents five progressive stages: starting with CAD in the 1970s, marked by manual processes and low collaboration; followed by the rise of 3D modeling around 2000; then the adoption of BIM in 2010, enabling parametric design and structured data; evolving into Digital Twins by 2020, integrating AI, IoT, and lifecycle management; and culminating in today’s Virtual Worlds, which embrace avatars, gaming technologies, extended reality (VR/AR/MR), blockchain, generative AI, and human-centric workflows. Each stage reflects increasing complexity, data richness, and collaborative potential, highlighting the industry's shift toward immersive, intelligent, and inclusive digital ecosystems.
