DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-COST VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEMS BASED ON REAL SITES AND OBJECTS 3D MODELS

摘要

Perspective direction of development in the area of information and training systems is virtual reality (VR) - multimedia human-computer interface, which allows transmission of visual, audio and other data components to user in natural way. In VR systems 3D environment is created due to use of specially equipped computer running VR application. As the result of our VR application development and testing we found out that use of 3D models based on real data provides several significant advantages. Developed approach uses various sources of raw and preprocessed data for VR environment creation and is oriented at use of low-cost hardware. Developed method was applied in various commercial projects and R&D works.
