... In the domain of technology and architectural design, the term "virtual reality" is a fusion of two fundamental concepts: "virtual" and "reality." "Virtual" denotes objects or experiences that closely resemble their real architectural counterparts in an alternate dimension, while "reality" pertains to the tangible architectural experiences encountered in the physical world [1]. As technology continually evolves, virtual reality has received a more precise definition, it is now described as a computer-generated three-dimensional simulation of the real world, essentially employing computer technology to create a virtual environment [2]. ...

... (see Table 2). The use of coral stone as a wall material provides natural insulation against heat, while narrow, shaded streets oriented north-south help mitigate solar exposure and facilitate air circulation through convection currents created by sunlight heating intersections (Bardeesi et al. 2022). Jeddah's architectural features contribute significantly to energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial cooling. ...
