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 gameengine 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 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 Design Space for Virtuality-Introduced Internet of Things
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have been dramatically expanded in recent years. In the near future, we expect that diverse digital services that employ Internet of Things (IoT) technologies enhanced with AR and VR will become more popular. Advanced information technologies will enable the physical world to be fused with the virtual world. These digital services wil...
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 کاملEvaluating effectiveness in virtual environments with MR simulation
Both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems have achieved some success and offer further potential to be used in military training. However, the use of high-end VR and AR remains costly and cumbersome, and the most advanced technologies are not widely deployed in actual training systems. Decision makers need evidence for the effectiveness of such systems in order to justify the...
