Paper Abstract:	In a building, the paint coating applied to interior walls is exposed to agents of deterioration related to its use, needing the regular evaluation of its state of repair. The developed application supports the performance of such periodic inspections and the monitoring of interior wall maintenance, using Virtual Reality (VR) Technology. Used during an inspection visit, the VR model allows users to consult a database of irregularities, normally associated with paint coating, classified by the most probable causes and by recommended repair methodologies. In addition, a chromatic scale related to the degree of deterioration of the coating, defined as a function of the time between the dates of the application of the paint and the scheduled repainting, is attributed to each coating element. VR technology allows inspections and the evaluation of the degree of wear and tear of materials to be carried out in a highly direct and intuitive manner.
