SonicWalker: Virtual Reality Simulation of Non-Visual Pedestrian City Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual reality has been used to bring people into isolated environments that either mimic the real world or abstract worlds. This game demo presents SonicWalker, a virtual reality based city that places the participant into the environment of a person who is blind. The participant is required to navigate city streets without using any vision relying only on 3D audio.

Pedestrian Navigation Simulation in Virtual Environment
Pedestrian navigation studies in real environments have shown consistent statistical relationships between ‘configuration’ properties of virtual layouts and movement flows, facilitating prediction of movement from designs. However, these studies are at an aggregate level and say nothing about how individuals make the micro-scale decisions producing these emergent regularities. They do not there...
متن کاملVirtual City Maker And Virtual Navigator: A Modelling And Visualisation Solution For Mobile 3D Virtual Cities
This paper presents a complete procedural 3D modelling solution for mobile devices, called Virtual City Maker, based on scripting algorithms allowing for both the automatic and also semi-automatic creation of photorealistic quality virtual urban content. The input data used include the combination of aerial images, GIS data, 2D ground maps and terrestrial photographs grouped with a user-friendl...
متن کاملA Natural Language Instructor for pedestrian navigation based in generation by selection
In this paper we describe a method for developing a virtual instructor for pedestrian navigation based on real interactions between a human instructor and a human pedestrian. A virtual instructor is an agent capable of fulfilling the role of a human instructor, and its goal is to assist a pedestrian in the accomplishment of different tasks within the context of a real city. The instructor decid...

In this paper a procedural 3D modelling solution for mobile devices is presented based on scripting algorithms allowing for both the automatic and also semi-automatic creation of photorealistic quality virtual urban content. The combination of aerial images, GIS data, 2D ground maps and terrestrial photographs as input data coupled with a user-friendly customized interface permits the automatic...
متن کاملUsing cognitive agent-based simulation for the evaluation of indoor wayfinding systems
This paper presents a novel approach to simulate human wayfinding behaviour incorporating visual cognition into a software agent for a computer aided evaluation of wayfinding systems in large infrastructures. The proposed approach follows the Sense-Plan-Act paradigm comprised of a model for visual attention, navigation behaviour and pedestrian movement. Stochastic features of perception are inc...
