Drones, virtual reality, and modeling: communicating catastrophic dam failure

Modeling and Visualization of Dam Construction Process Based on Virtual Reality

Along with the development of virtual reality (VR) technology, simulation system as a new perspective of management methods and technical means in the progress of the project management plays an increasingly important role. This paper presents a Virtools-based visual simulation method and realizes a concrete dam pouring process. It proposes that the mode of the dam for a certain period could be...

Conceptual Modeling for Virtual Reality

This paper explores the opportunities and challenges for Conceptual Modeling in the domain of Virtual Reality (VR). VR applications are becoming more feasible due to better and faster hardware, and due to new technology and faster network connections they also start to appear on the Internet. However, the development of such applications is still a specialized, time-consuming and expensive proc...

Virtual Reality Modeling for Structural Biology

In 1995 we have set up a virtual reality division of our Internet-based Image Library of Biological Macromolecules. This was one of the first virtual reality applications in biology. In this contribution we describe how virtual reality modeling can be applied to structural

Using Ontologies for Modeling Virtual Reality Scenarios

3D Character Modeling in Virtual Reality

The paper presents a virtual reality modeling system based on interactive web technologies. The system’s goal is to provide a user-friendly virtual environment for the development of 3D characters with an articulated structure. The interface allows the modeling of both the character’s joint structure (the hierarchy) and its segment geometry (the skin). The novelty of the system consists of 1) t...
