In recent years VR (Virtual Reality) technology has become one of the most important innovations in the industry.With the help of HMDs (Head-Mounted Displays), immersive experiences in a computer-generated environment are possible. In this way, users can move and interact with a virtual world. In the construction industry, BIM (Building Information Modeling) has emerged as the latest standard in the planning, implementation, and operation of buildings and infrastructure. Through digitized processes and standardized data exchange formats such as the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), efficient and reliable planning is possible with the help of BIM. There, the communication between the project participants through the visualization of BIM data plays a decisive role. The visualization of BIM data in VR offers users the opportunity to experience future buildings true to scale and thus to recognize planning errors early and to correct them. This paper discusses the application possibilities of VR in BIM as well as the editing of IFC models in VR.     «
