abstract = {We present a VR system that allows to monitor tunnel  constructions based on tunnel boring machines and segment  linings. Today a variety of sensors and measurements are  combined to control the process. This includes cutting disc  forces, TBM navigation data, tunnel face images, deformations of  the tunnel wall and more. This wealth of information is difficult  to comprehend in its entirety by traditional methods. Our system  supports monitoring and decision making by enabling an interactive  visual analysis in 3D space, where the georeferenced geometry  of the tunnel and ring segments are shown. Combined sensor  values are visualized at the locations where they were measured  preserving their geospatial context. A time control based on the  real project timeline allows to revisit the construction. The  system was successfully evaluated using data from various tunnel  projects and proved to be a valuable additional tool for tunnel  data analysis.},
