INTERACTIVE METHOD OF IMMERSION, VISUALIZATION, ASSISTANCE AND DECISION-MAKING IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT IN THREE DIMENSIONS AND IN REAL-TIME

摘要

The invention relates to an interactive method of immersion, visualization, help and decision-making in a virtual environment in three dimensions and in real time. The method consists of a computer and a computer program whose role is the execution of a data entry and parameterization interface and the control of the interactivity of the subject in immersion. Said interface allows the application, the import of several and any 3D computer file for a 3D visual representation in the virtual environment. The method prepares the subject for immersion by means of said data interface and parameterization (size, morphology of the subject). Said data and said parameters are transmitted to a 3D engine. Visualization of the virtual environment in three dimensions and in relief is done by means of a stereoscopic and gyroscopic virtual headset. Said computer program, a displacement system (force feedback joystick) and a touch system (force feedback glove) allow interactivity with any present object (or elements that compose it) in the virtual environment, in real time and without any other intervention than that of the immersed subject (opening of doors and cupboards if the object is equipped with it, touch, move, use and manipulation, modification of all textures, control of all light sources). the invention is particularly intended for visualization, assistance and decision making during a development, a purchase or lease of a future acquisition whatsoever.
