Abstract :
This paper reports on the integration of a virtual reality application with a project model to represent the different construction applications view of the data. The data is mapped to the virtual reality application automatically and interactively. The user can visualise the data of a number of construction applications in virtual reality. The paper also highlights some of the problems that need to be addressed in the creation of a virtual environment
