From Real to Virtual Rapid Architectural Prototyping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Can greater visual realism of a real-time architectural virtual walkthrough achieve similar high sensory impact, or qualia, as a fabricated 3D printed scale model of an urban landscape? The aim of this project is to answer that question by allowing a real existing city heritage landscape during a large urban planning project to be 3D modeled and subsequently be studied via a dual output: a fabricated real, physical scale model based on a latest high quality color 3D printer and an equivalent 3D virtual walkthrough of enhanced realtime visual realism based on a recent game engine. Conclusions of this experiment and user study suggest that a virtual, interactive simulation based on specific latest real-time rendering algorithms can indeed convey a similar user experience and feeling of “presence” that an equivalent architectural scale model offers, regarding fast appreciation of both space and structure.

Prototyping of Designs in Virtual Reality
Conventional CAD systems have not yet proven their ability to provide support for activities which characterise the early conceptual phase of design. We propose to refer to this set of capabilities of the human designer in conventional design as, design prototyping. We define the theoretical limitations of current CAD systems for supporting design prototyping, and postulate the potential of f...
متن کاملA Rapid Prototyping Method for Top-down Design of System-on-Chip Devices Using LPGAs
This paper proposes two methods for a rapid prototyping of top-down System-on-Chip(SOC) design using laser programmable gate arrays (LPGAs). The first one is a design flow of SOC consisting of four steps: concept-making, virtual-world prototyping, synthesis, and real-world prototyping. The steps can be undertaken individually or in tandem and provisional product models are transformed from uppe...
متن کاملA Virtual Prototyping System for Simulating Construction Processes
Virtual prototyping (VP) technology has been regarded as a cost-effective way of envisaging real circumstances that enhance effective communication of designs and ideas, without manufacturing physical samples. In the construction field, although a large number of digital technologies have been developed to visualize the innovative architectural design, few VP systems have been developed to faci...
متن کاملVirtual Reality and Rapid Prototyping: Conflicting or Complimentary?
It is likely that the uses for virtual reality (VR) will coincide with applications that rapid prototyping systems have already been used for. VR, with the ability to model real life environments, presents an ideal base for the design and development of new manufactured products. As a method of producing physical models directly from 3D CAD systems, rapid prototyping technology has also been us...
متن کاملDifferential Power Analysis: A Serious Threat to FPGA Security
Differential Power Analysis (DPA) implies measuring the supply current of a cipher-circuit in an attempt to uncover part of a cipher key. Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. As FPGAs are becoming integral parts of embedded systems and increasingly popular for cryptographic applications and...
