HistoryThe International Conference on Construction Applications
of Virtual Reality was initiated by Prof. Nashwan Dawood. The first CONVR was
held in Teesside (UK) in 2000.
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 14
years the conference has been held all around the globe and sponsored by major
software and engineering companies:
