A Tablet Based Immersive Architectural Design Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a SketchUp VR system in which we create a hybrid two-dimensional / three-dimensional immersive architectural design system. This system combines a tablet PC, an optically tracked room, a display wall, a SpaceTraveler motion controller, and stereographic eyewear to allow immersive conceptual design and walkthrough using a version of SketchUp that has been enhanced with Ruby plug-ins. The tablet PC provides a ”sketchpad” type of user interface for SketchUp, while the tracked space and display wall enable the designer simultaneously to design at full (or any other) scale in an immersive (VR) environment.

متن کاملArchitectural framework for immersive web based virtual environments
The development of 3D web based applications has been possible with the establishment of a number of 3D web technologies. Such applications have been utilized in different disciplines such as surgery planning, architectural design and games. However, most of these applications are trapped to the desktop setting provided by default in 3D technologies. Very few attempts have been made to present ...
