Abstract: This paper summarises the current tried and tested visualisation technology and looks forward to new technological advances in ‘visual’ communication. Secondly, outlining the driving forces that are steering the emerging immersive economy by highlighting the benefits over conventional working practices and how ‘reality capture’ hardware is speeding up the ability to 3D model the built environment. The key acronyms are explained to differentiate augmented reality (AR), virtual reality) (VR), interactive 3D (i3D) and Internet of Things (IoT) and the link to digital twins. Lastly, these are put in context by reviewing some practical examples and case studies to show visual communication in action with a fire safety facilities management visualisation.
