GEOPROVE: Geometric Probes for Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a software architecture that can be used to instrument interactive virtual environments with virtual probes to obtain quantitative information from geometric presentations. This architecture provides tools by which measurements can be obtained from multiple levels of data presentations, ranging from graphically displayed geometry to the underlying raw data sets.

Parameter Acquisition of Geometric Primitives within Virtual Environments for Internet-Based Telerobotics
With the aim of improving the efficiency of on-line modelling of virtual environments (VEs) in Internet-based telerobotics (IBT), this paper addresses the modelling of geometric primitives using only a single view of them. By studying the properties and constraints of the primitives under perspective projection, we propose a searching method that uses virtual features as matching templates for ...
متن کاملGeneration of Virtual Reality Environments using Expert Systems
This paper describes a system for generating virtual reality environments and, more specifically, three-dimensional geometric models of large-scale urban areas for driving instruction simulators. These models include roads, buildings, road signs and road markings. Such models also find application in other training simulators, virtual reality environments and games.
متن کاملDevelopment of virtual environments for Mechanical Engineering
We outline a procedure for implementing a virtual CNC lathe prototype using software for creating virtual environments. The prototype constructed focus on the lathe’s interlocking system (its functionality) and on its geometric model (its physical design). This project allowed us to identify the possibilities and limitations of applying current Virtual Reality technology for virtual prototyping...
متن کاملBuilding usable objects for virtual environments
Much of the time required developing a virtual environment (VE) application is spent modelling objects [1]. Three closely linked attributes of virtual world objects are their appearance, geometry and behaviour. For an object, the appearance is given by the visual properties such as colour or texture, the geometry is the spatial structure of the object and the behaviour describes how the object ...
متن کاملA Geometric Modeling and Animation System for Virtual Reality
Very few virtual environment design tools have been developed for non-programmers. Most non-programmers rely on programmers to produce their environments, or produce static environments using traditional geometrical modelers. Non-programmers, including artists and designers, have a lot to contribute to the development of virtual environments. In addition, tools developed to assist this user gro...
