Technology acceptance model for Augmented Reality and Building Information Modeling integration in the construction industry

The digitalization of the construction industry has immense potential for dramatically improving the industry's practices. Concerning current measures in construction project management, the industry is still dependent on traditional construction methods. However, the application of fully autom...

Concerning current measures in construction project management, the industry is still dependent on traditional construction methods.

Thus, this may explain why there is a slow adaption of digital growth within the construction industry and specifically in developing countries. This study is aiming to investigate the acceptance of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Augmented Reality (AR) integration in the construction industry. To achieve this aim, Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3) was utilized.
