  This systematic review explores the viability of virtual reality (VR)
technologies for enhancing learning outcomes and operational efficiency within
the construction industry. This study evaluates the current integration of VR
in construction education and practice. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items
for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, this review analyzed 36
peer-reviewed journal articles from databases such as the Web of Science, ERIC,
and Scopus. The methodology focused on identifying, appraising, and
synthesizing all relevant studies to assess the effectiveness of VR
applications in construction-related fields. This review highlights that VR
significantly enhances learning by providing immersive interactive simulations
that improve the understanding of every complex construction process, such as
structural elements or tunnel-boring machine operations. This review
contributes by systematically compiling and evaluating evidence on using VR in
construction, which has seen a limited comprehensive analysis. It provides
practical examples of how VR can revolutionize education and work.
