Real Positioning in Virtual Environments Using Game Engines

چکیده
Immersive virtual environments offer a natural setting for educational and instructive experiences for users, and game engine technology offers an interesting, cost-effective and efficient solution for building them. In this paper we describe an ongoing project whose goal is to provide a virtual environment where the “real” location of the user is used to position the user’s avatar into the virtual environment.

Generating 3D Multiplayer Game Maps from 2D Architectural Plans
This paper presents an approach for using 2D architectural plans to automatically generate 3D environments which can be used as the basis for archaeological excavation scenarios, delivered through networked, multi-user learning environments. The approach discussed in this paper has been developed as part of the LAVA project, which aims to provide support for explorative learning of archaeologic...
متن کاملReal-Time Interaction Techniques for Meshless Deformation Based on Shape Matching
Meshless deformation based on shape matching is a new technique for simulating deformable objects which handles point-based objects and does not need connectivity information. The technique has been first presented in 2005 and is of interest to all fields which require fast, stable simulations which do not need to be physically correct. In particular the technique seems very suitable for use in...
متن کاملGame Engines Selection Framework for High-Fidelity Serious Applications
Serious games represent the state-of-the-art in the convergence of electronic gaming technologies with instructional design principles and pedagogies. Despite the value of high-fidelity content in engaging learners and providing realistic training environments, building games which deliver high levels of visual and functional realism is a complex, time consuming and expensive process. Therefore...
متن کامل3d Game Engines as a New Reality
Three-Dimensional (3D) Game Engines are large and complex, but very efficient at creating huge, artificial worlds for entertainment. As they mature, they improve and mimic the real world ever more realistically than competing Virtual Reality (VR) systems. In the present paper, we describe the key components that form a modern 3D Game Engine such as the ‘Source’ or ‘Quake III’ engines (by Valve ...
متن کاملRealistic virtual environments navigable over the www
Creation of 3D virtual environments (VE) can be performed using a variety of design tools, most of which create 3D virtual worlds using high definition graphics, 3D Game engines and smooth animation techniques. The produced result is realistic and eye-catching. Although a VR model is always less detailed than the real world artifact it represents, VR provides greater freedom in viewing a model ...
