| summary |
Virtual Reality has been an ideal environment for visualizing three-dimensional
models as well as implementing simulation systems such as flight training
and surgery preparation. In such a system, the user can be familiar himself/herself with
a particular environment or the procedure of a task even before going into the real site
or actually performing a task. In this project, we are trying to implement a Guided Tour
System inside a Virtual Reality Environment. Basically, a three-dimensional model of
the campus of the University of Hong Kong will be built in the Virtual Reality
Modeling Language (VRML). It is now possible to have a 3D visualization of the
model in any Web browser. A non-directed graph can be built based on the 3D model
with every branch representing a path, and every node represents a specific location
inside the campus. Based on this graph, we can calculate all possible routes between
any two nodes and deduce the shortest path between them. The guided tour system is
designed in such a way that whenever the user attempts to move to a new place inside
the campus, he/she will be brought to there in the quickest way automatically with just a
few “mouse-click”. In this project, the Cosmo VRML player will be used as the
browser’s plugin, and other associated tasks are developed in Javascript.
