An Immersive Virtual Environment Training System on the Real-time Motion Platform

چکیده
This work is focused on the implementation and integration of virtual environment (VE) technology to support the future Human Mars Mission (HMM) personal training conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). We present a six degrees of freedom (DOF) motion platform, or Flostation, plus a head mounted display (HMD) based virtual environment training system, where the motion platform is used to simulate rover movement and the HMD coupled with a head tracker and a joystick to support interaction. This research demonstrates that we can achieve not only real-time interaction performance but also high level realism in our virtual environment application. The prototype system was developed on an SGI Onyx equipped with an InfiniteReality II, a two pipe graphics system.

An automated time and hand motion analysis based on planar motion capture extended to a virtual environment
In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a manual process using a capture motion system embedded to a virtual environment. Capture motion system trac...
متن کاملImmersive performance training tools using motion capture technology
Traditionally, students can undergo performance training by imitating teachers’ motions and improving their moves by following teachers’ advice. However, teachers are not always available and there is a lack of effective self-training tools. In this paper, we propose an immersive performance training system with motion capture technology. Our aim is to provide a virtual training environment for...

The specific objective of this work is the development of two new gesture recognition systems for SMILETM, an immersive learning game that employs a fantasy 3D virt...
متن کاملEarthquake Disaster Simulation in Immersive 3D Environment
Human response to any adverse situation can be greatly enhanced through training and mind-body experience. Earthquake is one such phenomenon where human response to minimise injuries/deaths is constrained due to disorientation of the victims. People in regions with frequent earthquakes often exhibit better response due to past experience. Training of the mind and body can also be achieved in a ...
متن کاملA Framework for Constructing Real-time Immersive Environments for Training Physical Activities
This paper describes a framework for constructing a three-dimensional immersive environment that can be used for training physical activities. The system is designed to capture three dimensional full-body human motion in real time and visualize the data either locally or remotely through three-dimensional display system so that the data can be viewed from arbitrary viewpoints. In the proposed s...
