Using VR tools to quality control seismic acquisition surveys

摘要

A tool to utilize the virtual reality (VR) environment for quality control of ongoing seismic acquisition operations has been developed by PGS (Petroleum Geo-Services). The technology offers visualization in combination with fast inspection of large data volumes. There are several different types of VR systems on the market today. PGS uses a dual-screen Holobench system from TAN Pro-jektionstechnologie, which provides users with a reasonable degree of immersion while the physical size of the installation is limited. Up to six people can work together in front of the Holobench, and the users interact directly with the data through a wand (3D mouse used to point and click in the virtual environment). The firm''s visualization software, holoSeis™, has been designed to provide stereographic volume visualization and can handle very large data volumes.
