Digital version of the book 'Virtual Reality and the Built Environment' available

This book is now available to preview and purchase in an electronic format, with an ISBN 9780080520667 at Amazon. First published in 2002, it is an introduction to interactive real-time 3D and its emerging uses in the construction industry. As it deals with the fundamental challenges of using technologies within projects, the book has been used at Masters level for nearly a decade. Since the book was out of print for a while, the associated website had not been refreshed, but as there is a growing readership of the electronic versions, this blog is currently being updated to provide more information of current research and practice in this area, particularly that being developed through the Design Innovation Research Centre, an exploration group at the University of Reading launched in January 2010.
