The results showed that the primary barriers to MR adoption are the high cost of initial investment, public perception of the technology being immature, limited demand, and difficulty accessing relevant experts’ knowledge.

The relative importance index (RII) was used to rank the barriers and drivers in terms of significance. A questionnaire was then distributed to 220 randomly selected respondents from the pertinent construction industry, representing all major stakeholders.

The literature review revealed 37 barriers to, and 41 drivers of, MR adoption. A mixed methodology that included both qualitative and quantitative data analysis was used. This study aims to examine the major drivers of, and barriers to, the adoption of MR technologies (MRTs) in the construction sector of developing countries. However, its usage in construction projects in developing countries has not been widely researched. Mixed Reality (MR) that combines elements of both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) has great potential for use in the construction industry.
