Civil Engineering Application for Virtual Collaborative Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The motivation for this project was to find a way to give engineers, and the community affected by Civil Engineering work, information that is often difficult to visualise via computer screens, 2D plans or even scale models. We developed a Digital Scale Model using the existing expertise at the University of Nottingham on Space Geodesy and Mixed Reality. The user works in a collaborative Virtual Environment (VE) where it is possible to share with other users, new ideas, points of view and solutions that appear in the timeline of a construction, pursuing reduction of costs and improving agility. This paper is an introduction of the project developed at the University of Nottingham and describes the concept of Digital Scale Models. Hardware, software and results will be presented and discussed.
