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.

翻译：本系统综述探讨了虚拟现实（VR）技术在提升建筑行业学习成果与运营效率方面的可行性。本研究评估了VR目前在建筑教育与实践中应用的现状。遵循系统综述与荟萃分析（PRISMA）指南，本综述分析了来自Web of Science、ERIC和Scopus等数据库的36篇同行评审期刊文章。研究方法侧重于识别、评估与综合所有相关研究，以评估VR应用在建筑相关领域的有效性。本综述强调，VR通过提供沉浸式交互模拟显著增强了学习效果，从而提升了对复杂施工过程（如结构构件或隧道掘进机操作）的理解。本综述的贡献在于系统性地整理和评估了VR在建筑领域应用的证据，而该领域此前缺乏全面的分析。本文提供了VR如何革新教育与工作的实际案例。
