چکیده
This paper presents our novel concept Outdoor Virtual Reality. By using outdoor augmented reality techniques we propose to build very wide area virtual reality systems, outdoor virtual reality. The concept of outdoor virtual reality is compared and contrasted to traditional definitions of augmented reality and virtual reality. We present our flexible Tinmith-evo5 software architecture as a platform to build outdoor virtual reality applications. We have constructed two outdoor virtual reality applications, a 3D visualisation tool and an outdoor game.
