Abstract
With the evolution of the semiconductor industry, the duration from the plant construction to the installation of production equipment becomes shorter. To finish the plant construction on time, this study expects to exclude the delay of construction due to the spatial cognition which may cause poor communication between each subcontractors. Managing the construction detail and schedule are crucial due to features in the construction of high tech fab such as a large amount of body, a complex interface and a tight duration. The traditional approach, critical path method, may be constrained when the schedule is frequently changed. To handle the schedule, we should focus on the deployment of labors, the management of work space and the sequence of working activities. Owners and contractors can’t play the role of users and builders easily because they can’t use a same platform to communicate and the controllability of the software is still hard for them. Therefore, this study aims to establish an immersive virtual reality model to display a construction site of semiconductor facilities. To reach the goal, this research combines modeling software and game engine to build the initial system frame. It can make labors understand the construction situation rapidly. This study also develop the function of working simulation and multiplayer to enhance the communication efficiency with the construction managers. In addition, this study also does an experiment to measure the user experience. Compared to general modeling software, the result shows that the immersive virtual reality platform provides easier operation, deeper immersion and intuitional spatial cognition.
