VHD++ Development Framework: Towards Extendible, Component Based VR/AR Simulation Engine Featuring Advanced Virtual Character Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the architecture of the VHD++ real-time development framework that after several years of intensive research, design, and development effort has been released and enters its validation phase. This paper discusses the key aspects involved in architectural structure, design and practical implementation of an efficient, flexible and extendible real-time software framework based on the modern 3D game-engine design principles. This framework supports researchers and application developers with rapid, component based development of VR/AR systems featuring advanced virtual character simulation technologies. The discussion covers motivation, main concepts, survey of related work, the main functional and design requirements, design principles and key architectural elements. It concludes with the initial validation results including overview of existing VHD++ based VR/AR virtual character simulation applications

متن کاملMobile Augmented Heritage: Enabling Human Life in ancient Pompeii
We propose a new methodology for real-time mobile mixed reality systems that feature realistic simulations of animated virtual human actors (clothes, body, skin, face) who augment real environments and re-enact staged storytelling dramas. Although initially targeted at Cultural Heritage Sites, the paradigm is by no means limited to such subjects. The abandonment of traditional concepts of stati...
متن کاملRecreating Daily life in Pompeii
We propose an integrated Mixed Reality methodology for recreating ancient daily life that features realistic simulations of animated virtual human actors (clothes, body, skin, face) who augment real environments and re-enact staged storytelling dramas. We aim to go further from traditional concepts of static cultural artifacts or rigid geometrical and 2D textual augmentations and allow for 3D, ...
متن کاملSurgical Simulation Training Systems: Box Trainers, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Simulators
In contrast to Virtual Reality (VR) and traditional surgical training, simulation-based training in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), and Augmented Reality (AR) technology, constitute relatively new application fields in surgery. However, between simulation and AR there is a direct link: the utilization of state-of-the art computer graphics tools and techniques. Nevertheless, an integrated rese...
متن کاملA generic framework for game development
This article describes a generic framework used in the MR based AMIRE (Authoring Mixed Reality) project. The concepts of the presented framework can be used in every 3D based application (e.g. game, VR-/ARapplications etc.) and our approach allows an easy communication between the objects (game objects). If you are working on several games or VR/AR based applications you will see a common patte...
