Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 24th International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality—CONVR2024 will be hosted by Western Sydney University and take place in Sydney (Australia) from 4 to 6 November 2024.

CONVR2024 will bring together AEC researchers and practitioners from around the globe to report on and exchange the latest developments, ideas and applications stemming from innovative and cutting-edge research activities in the area of immersive realities and digital transformations, and their impact on sustainable development and net-zero environments.

The conference focuses on the fields of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), which are forward-looking technologies that enable considerable benefits in all stages of the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) process, from initial planning and conceptual design to facility management and operations. Over the last 23 years, CONVR has been held all around the globe and sponsored by major construction and engineering companies.
