Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of integrating augmented reality technology, along with promising techniques, into the building maintenance system. The goal is to investigate whether augmented reality devices may improve the support given to personnel during facility maintenance procedures. The present research offers a decision-making tool intended to assist researchers and managers in assessing and choosing an augmented reality device that has important characteristics to enhance building maintenance procedures. A decision-making process was used to identify the optimal option from three augmented reality tools: handheld devices, head-mounted displays, and projectors. A set of six main criteria was established to evaluate the three augmented reality options. The analytical hierarchy process approach was used as the decision-making tool by prioritizing a set of primary and sub-criteria among many choices. A four-tier hierarchy has been established to identify the aspects that hold greater significance for decision-makers when choosing the augmented reality tool. The prioritization of the options utilized in this study was determined by considering the comments of the stakeholders while conducting a method analysis. The findings indicate that the handheld device is the most preferred augmented reality technology for facilitating building maintenance tasks, with a ranking score of 0.5031. The second alternative demonstrated an acceptable result of 0.3166, while the projector obtained the third position with a score of 0.1803. Moreover, the primary criterion analysis revealed that reliability emerged as the most influential factor pertaining to the target, with a rank of 0.3881. In terms of the sub-criteria, stakeholders in the decision-making process assigned greater importance to data format, handle, feedback, software system integration cost, augmented reality tools or equipment, and system maintenance.
