VRSPATIAL: Designing Spatial Mechanisms Using Virtual Reality
نویسندگان
چکیده
The traditional computer interface provides a twodimensional (2D) interface to design. The monitor is a twodimensional visual display and the desktop mouse is a twodimensional input device. These tools are sufficient for designing 2D products such as planar linkages. When these tools are used to design three-dimensional (3D) products however, the designer must learn how to use the 2D tools to interact with objects defined in three-dimensional space. Virtual reality technology provides truly three-dimensional tools, with position tracked visual displays and input devices, that allow interaction with 3D digital products. Over the last few years we have developed a virtual environment for spatial mechanism design [1-4]. This paper describes the differences between designing a spatial mechanism using traditional computer interfaces and designing using the VRSpatial application.

Investigating the Effect of Music on Spatial Learning in a Virtual Reality Task
Background: Spatial learning and navigation is a fundamental cognitive ability consisting of multiple cognitive components. Despite intensive efforts conducted with the assistance of virtual reality technology and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) modality, the music effect on this cognition and the involved neuronal mechanisms remain elusive. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the...
متن کاملSpatial mechanism design in virtual reality with networking
Mechanisms are used in many devices to move a rigid body through a finite sequence of prescribed locations in space. The most commonly used mechanisms are four-bar planar mechanisms that move an object in one plane in space. Spatial mechanisms allow motion in three-dimensions (3D). Spatial 4C mechanisms are two degree of freedom kinematic closed-chains consisting of four rigid links simply conn...
متن کاملInteractive Visualization of the Line Congruences Associated with Four Finite Spatial Poses
This paper presents a framework for generating and interacting with the line congruences associated with four general finite poses. These line congruences are the solution space of spatial 4C mechanisms which will guide a workpiece through the four prescribed poses. Hence, the contributions of this paper are applicable to developing interactive tools for designing spatial 4C mechanisms for four...
