Building Simulations for Virtual Environments and Prototyping

چکیده
In this paper, we describe a dynamic simulation system which provides accurate collision detection and response at interactive rates. Our collision detection algorithms utilize the properties of \locality" and \coherence". As for collision response, we use a simple yet eecient and accurate \impulsed-based scheme" to compute the dynamics necessary to generate an appropriate response according to Newtonian physics.

Rapid Prototyping a Virtual Fire Drill Environment using Computer Game Technology∗
Conducting fire evacuation drills in modern buildings under realistic fire conditions can be difficult. Typical fire drills do not feature dynamic events such as smoke filled corridors, fires in unexpected places or blocked fire exits that require on the spot decisions from evacuees. One alternative is the use of virtual environments. Virtual environments can support the training and observatio...
متن کاملVirtual Prototyping for Robot Controllers
Production of a new mechanism involves design, manufacturing and testing phases. In order to achieve shorter turn-around times, researchers have studied methods of shortening these phases. Today, structural tests and simulations conducted in virtual environments prior to manufacturing are a part of most of the standard production processes. However, in robot production not only the structural a...

This paper describes how different kinds of research activities (theory building and application, exploratory and experimental studies, prototyping, user testing) are instrumental in informing the design of virtual environments. We show how general user-centred design methods can be used when tackling specific issues concerned with the properties of virtual environments. To illustrate our appro...
متن کاملExploring the Reuse of Fire Evacuation Behaviour in Virtual Environments
There is increasing use of virtual environments to provide scenario-based training in hazardous environments, where real-world training would be difficult, dangerous or have ethical implications. One specific example is fire evacuation training and the use of virtual fire drills. Virtual environments can be used to present simulated buildings and fire hazards where evacuation drills can be safe...
