Integration of deep learning and extended reality technologies in construction engineering and management: a mixed review method

Purpose In recent years, deep learning and extended reality (XR) technologies have gained popularity in the built environment, especially construction engineering management. A significant amount of research efforts has been thus dedicated to automation construction-related activities visualization process. The purpose this study is investigate potential opportunities integration XR Design/methodology/approach This presents a literature review 164 articles published Scopus from 2006 2021, based on strict data acquisition criteria. mixed method, consisting scientometric analysis systematic review, conducted identify gaps propose future directions. Findings proposed directions can be categorized into four areas, including realism training simulations; visual audio-based classification; automated hazard detection head-mounted displays (HMDs); context awareness HMDs. Originality/value contributes body knowledge by identifying necessity integrating facilitating management
