Virtual Reality (VR) for Serious Games (SGs) is attracting increasingattention for training applications due to its potential to providesignificantly enhanced learning to users. Some examples of the application ofVR for SGs are complex training evacuation problems such as indoor earthquakeevacuation or fire evacuation. The indoor 3D geometry of existing buildings canlargely influence evacuees' behaviour, being instrumental in the design of VRSGs storylines and simulation scenarios. The VR scenarios of existing buildingscan be generated from drawings and models. However, these data may not reflectthe 'as-is' state of the indoor environment and may not be suitable to reflectdynamic changes of the system (e.g. Earthquakes), resulting in excessivedevelopment efforts to design credible and meaningful user experience. Thispaper explores several workflows for the rapid and effective reconstruction of3D indoor environments of existing buildings that are suitable for earthquakesimulations. These workflows start from Building Information Modelling (BIM),laser scanning and 360-degree panoramas. We evaluated the feasibility andefficiency of different approaches by using an earthquake-based case studydeveloped for VR SGs.
