A Virtual Reality Platform to Study Crowd Behaviors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microscopic pedestrian simulation models are based on local interactions between agents. Many interactions occur between walkers, with many factors of influence. There is a need for observations of individuals facing interactions in crowds to better understand them and improve the level of realism of simulation algorithms. We explore Virtual Reality (VR) as an experimental tool to perform such observations with an accurate control of experimental conditions. However, the bias introduced in the collected data through the VR-system must be evaluated. We present the effort we have made in the last few years to evaluate such bias. © 2014 The Authors.

متن کاملCrowd simulation for interactive virtual environments and VR training systems
In this paper we present recent results concerning development of the crowd simulation for interactive virtual environments such as virtual reality training system for urban emergency situations. Our system aims to reproduce realistic scenarios involving large number of the virtual human agents with behaviors based on the behaviors of the real persons in such situations. We define architecture ...
متن کاملGaze Behaviors for Virtual Crowd Characters
Nowadays, crowds of virtual characters are used in many domains such as neurosciences, psychology, and computer sciences. Since as human beings, we are natural experts in human being representation and movement, it makes it that much harder to correctly model and animate virtual characters. This becomes even more challenging when considering crowds of virtual characters. Indeed, in addition to ...
متن کاملVirtual Space as a Platform for Student Research Practices
Online learning is becoming an increasingly popular request. Many universities are moving fully or partially to this form of study. In the article, the authors considered what is virtual space, what are its criteria, as well as applicability for teaching students and passing research practices. Based on an analysis of existing virtual spaces (platforms), an experiment was conducted. The study s...
متن کاملFeeling Crowded? Exploring Presence in Virtual Crowds
Virtual reality experiments with virtual crowds are necessary to study human behavior under panic or stressful situations that cannot be evaluated in the real world (i.e., building evacuation due to fire). In order to carry out those experiments it is necessary to use a crowd simulation model in which a real person is seamlessly immersed and experiences a high sense of presence when interacting...
