Mackay campus of environmental education and digital cultural construction: the application of 3D virtual reality

摘要

This study uses 3D virtual reality technology to create the "Mackay campus of the environmental education anddigital cultural 3D navigation system" for local historical sites in the Tamsui (Hoba) area, in hopes of providing tourisminformation and navigation through historical sites using a 3D navigation system. We used Auto CAD, Sketch Up, andSpaceEyes 3D software to construct the virtual reality scenes and create the school's historical sites, such as the House ofReverends, the House of Maidens, the Residence of Mackay, and the Education Hall. We used this technology tocomplete the environmental education and digital cultural Mackay campus . The platform we established can indeedachieve the desired function of providing tourism information and historical site navigation. The interactive multimediastyle and the presentation of the information will allow users to obtain a direct information response. In addition toshowing the external appearances of buildings, the navigation platform can also allow users to enter the buildings toview lifelike scenes and textual information related to the historical sites. The historical sites are designed according totheir actual size, which gives users a more realistic feel. In terms of the navigation route, the navigation system does notforce users along a fixed route, but instead allows users to freely control the route they would like to take to view thehistorical sites on the platform.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
